Eve Shankly

Creatively driven professional with expertise in visual storytelling across multiple mediums. Proficient in Adobe software, leveraging traditional techniques to produce authentic and dynamic digital illustrations. Demonstrated ability to excel both independently and collaboratively within teams. Consistently delivers high-quality work tailored to specific project briefs.

• I have recently graduated from Derby University with a BA honours degree in illustration. Here I became familiar with a wide range of mediums, encompassing both digital and traditional. I am proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite and have the most experience in Photoshop, illustrator, and in-design. I have been using the adobe suite software for the last five years throughout my academic career, as well as recreationally to develop my practice further.
• My Illustration work has been featured in the public exhibition, “Defining Freedom of the Press” located at St Brides Gallery in London, accompanying a conference surrounding the subject area. I have also been working with a play therapist to create graphics for a book based on anxiety management, which will soon be published. For my final project at university, I created a graphic novel/comic that was presented to the public at the Derby University degree show exhibition.
• As well as developing my illustration practice, part of my course included how to incorporate graphic elements into illustration briefs. I have completed graphic-design-oriented briefs including packaging design, book covers, and brand design and I have a good understanding of typography.
• Overall I consider myself a very reliable, hardworking individual who is used to working within deadlines at a fast pace. I work well in a creative environment and enjoy rising to any challenges the job may entail. I also consider myself an innovative person with a strong artistic voice, who thrives when given rigid briefs, but can extend my creativity to coming up with outcomes regardless of the context. I always try to go above and beyond with the work I produce, and I am eager to learn more about how my practice can fit within the creative industry.
