Brand and Editorial Designer

Working primarily for one brand for 8 years really helped me to develop an understanding of the far reaching role design plays in a business, particularly in the realms of marketing and branding. Working closely with the marketing department and covering the full extent of the visual side of the marketing plan, increased my focus from a purely creative point to a performance and problem solving approach.

I was responsible for producing strong brand guidelines, vital brand assets such as logos, iconography, as well as marketing collateral and UI designs.
