Digital Designer

Manta Ray Media Ltd

During my time at Manta Ray, I crafted brand directions and impactful digital solutions for clients such as the WHO and Gates Foundation.

I was responsible for designing solutions to meet client's needs, whether that was native apps, responsive websites or print based material. I worked closely with:

Clients to ensure solutions met their needs through briefings and presentations
Project managers to ideate solutions together from wireframes to UX problems to finalised high-fidelity interfaces
Developers to ensure technical feasibility at every level, with regular QA sessions before we wrapped up the final deliverables for our clients
Directors to explore design directions and to research and test new tools and processes to improve how we worked and communicated

Positive company culture is important to me, which is why I lead in creating a more wholesome office environment and planning social events that enrich the company culture and encourage positive mental health within the workplace.

Damibu Ltd

After an internship at Damibu in 2013, I returned after graduating from Northumbria University in 2015 for three months. During this time I worked on the branding and web & native app concepts for several clients. This was my first experience working with real clients and creating designs with only myself to rely on. This meant that I had to push myself to trust I knew what I was doing and really get stuck in.
