ABOUT

Design

  • I love design, it's been in my 'bones' since childhood, and enjoy the entire design process

  • I respond to each project with creative, clear and attractive solutions

  • I understand and appreciate the balance between the client's end objectives, and my desire to deliver visual solutions of high aesthetic value = client satisfaction is the ultimate aim

  • I deliver high volumes of production on-time and on-budget with attention to detail and accuracy

  • I’m technologically savvy and enjoy learning new programs and techniques

  • I am enthusiastic about advancing myself with the newest design ideas and trends to expand my design horizons

  • I never settle on or become attached to my first idea, as I know that the essence of design is to meet the client's needs

People Skills

  • I enjoy engaging with clients, knowing that developing personal relationships creates confidence and happy customers

  • I appreciate that paramount to overall success is friendly, cooperative team-work

  • I work collaboratively and am eager to share tips and skills with teammates as well as to learn from them

  • I put the clients' priorities first — aiming to thoroughly understand their needs, and making them feel empowered, comfortable and informed within the design process

  • I would be available to travel for your company and am able to legally work in both the UK and USA 

Work Ethic

  • I take personal responsibility and care for each job with a strong sense of co-ownership

  • I have a proactive approach to all requests, making sure work is done quickly and accurately

  • I’m organised, methodical, and carefully follow internal processes, finding ways to improve them as I work

Personal/Extracurricular

  • Creative: I enjoy lino and screen printing on both paper and fabric

  • Ecological: I care deeply about the environment and encouraged a recycling scheme at ThomasArts

  • Humanitarian: I volunteer with Ruth’s Refuge, an organisation that provides, delivers, and sets up furnishings for newly housed refugees and asylum seekers in NYC

  • Political: I volunteered with When We All Vote to encourage voter registration and participation and was an election worker
