Key responsibilities:
Creative Digital Execution: I deliver digital-first campaign support for agency clients across social, web and email. I’ve prototyped bespoke UX/UI solutions for Volkswagen Financial Services and Santander, addressing customer user journey challenges to deliver accessible and responsive experiences.
Communication & Collaboration: I work cross-functionally with internal teams and clients, presenting ideas and prototypes, leading workshops and aligning design solutions with strategic business goals.
Digital Expertise: Since the departure of both my Head of Digital and Junior Digital Designer in August 2022, I’ve been a team of one - the “go-to-guy” for all things Digital at an award winning agency. It’s something I’m incredibly proud of.
Continuous Development & Industry Awareness: Learning never stops. Whether it’s keeping up with AI tools or learning new software (like Figma, because Adobe has stopped supporting Adobe XD). The key to staying relevant is understanding modern digital capabilities and embracing innovation.
Problem Solving & Adaptability: I tackle design challenges with a solutions-first mindset, contributing ideas and adapting quickly across a range of formats, platforms, and project types.

Skills:
Client management: I’ve led multiple UX/UI and web design projects where I’ve build strong relationships with agency clients to develop prototypes and design systems. I approach client collaboration with an inquisitive and empathetic mindset to get under the skin of the challenge we’re trying to solve.
Adobe XD & Figma: Fluent in building functional interactive prototypes, storyboarding social content, creating Instant Experiences for Meta as well as digital banners and eDMs.
Photoshop / InDesign / Illustrator: I’m highly proficient with the ol’ reliables. Whether it’s retouching weird and wonderful key visuals, building beautiful pitch decks or prepping vector artwork for animation.
Adobe After Effects: I’ve been working with After Effects since 2019. By far one of the most useful skillsets I’ve learned in an age where engaging content demands powerful movement. It’s also really helpful for communicating how I want something to move or respond to an interaction in a digital environment.
Adobe Premiere Pro: I started a YouTube channel in 2023. I needed a passion project. A creative outlet. Something that I could call my own. I’ve been editing with Premiere Pro regularly in my own time since, constantly trying to push creative execution.
Copywriting: Something you might not expect from a designer… I have a degree in Journalism. I’m a strong communicator, which strengthens my versatility as a designer and creative thinker.
