Summary
I'm a graphic designer with experience in branding, animation, web design, ai and print work. I got into graphic design in 2018 when I got an Ipad and started messing around on a drawing app and from then I fell in love with graphic design and went on to study it in college. During college I learnt the adobe software and became skilled with Photoshop and illustrator. Outside of graphic design most of my hobbies are creative in some way. From sewing and customising clothes to making videos with my friends, staying creative is one of the most important things to me. If I’m not working or hanging out with my friends and family then I’m making something.

Work history
warehouse operative
Pearson
05.2025 - 06.2025
- Pearson has been my favourite warehouse I’ve worked at. I got to build my skills and even made some friends while working there. Efficiently loading up boxes and scanning papers really helped me build more skills and confidence in the warehouse
Winner recruitment
11.2024 - 12.2024
- Winner recruitment was an agency that would get temp warehouse work. It wasn’t great because they rarely gave me hours but I enjoy warehouse work so I made the most of it when I did get given shifts, but ended up leaving due to not receiving any work.
Outbound sales agent
CC33 Sky call centre
02.2024 - 03.2024
- While working at cc3 I really grew my confidence and skills in customer service, I learnt how to both help customers and deal with unhappy ones. Since it was an outbound sales job there was a lot of thinking on my feet to keep customers on the phone and to make sales. I had left due to needing more time at home and there were no part time positions available.
Warehouse operative-Picker
The Fraser group:Sport Direct warehouse
05.2023 - 10.2023
- Working with the Fraser group was a good experience and I gained more skills while working there. The main thing I learned while working here was how to efficiently get the boxes to where they need to be in the warehouse and how to stay on target even if I’m tired.
PLT Warehouse
05.2023 - 03.2023
- This was my first warehouse job and I learnt a lot while working here. Despite all the heavy lifting and not having the best managers I found picking and packing surprisingly fun and enjoyed doing warehouse work.
Labourer
Mark Tansley Roofing services
05.2021 - 09.2022
- While working as a labourer I learnt to keep working through being tired and exhausted.
Customer service
Amy Claire designs
07.2018 - 06.2018
- Whilst working with Amy on work experience I learnt how to solve problems and help customers in person and over the phone. I also followed her closely as she visited wholesalers and helped with interactions between customers.
