Experience
Art Director
Jan 2023 - Nov 2023 | Dynamo
Working closely with a senior art director/ creative lead, learning how to think and work like an art director role rather than a design role. I was responsible for overseeing and guiding visual elements of design projects and campaigns. From conception to execution and roll out. Working closely with the wider team and copywriters, while also liaising with and presenting to clients. Organising and collaborating with my design team, and third party suppliers to deliver world class campaigns and activations.

Developing creative concepts into compelling visuals. Working with a global client base, managing project time lines, meeting deadlines, presenting to clients and delivering high-quality design solutions. Working across digital, and print media.
Junior Designer
Oct 2018 - Oct 2021 | Dynamo
Working as part of the team under a creative director and senior designers, on branding and advertising projects. I was involved with design tasks from conception to completion. Working directly with clients, presenting creative work, processing feedback, and producing digital and print ready files as artwork.
Design Intern
Jul 2018 - Oct 2018 | Dynamo
Working under creative directors and senior designers, learning and developing essential design skills, and also learning how agency the works. I assisted on all areas of branding and communication projects, supported in research, concept development, presenting and art-working.
Waitress
March 2024 - Nov 2024 | El Matador, NZ
Last year I moved to New Zealand as a career break, during that time I worked as a waitress in a very successful restaurants in Wellington, New Zealand. Working as part of an efficient team in a high pressure environment. Dealing with the public every day, and delivering top class service while maintaining a positive attitude.
