Looking for an experienced, reliable Senior Designer?
I'm based in Worcester, UK, with 20+ years of experience in design, covering everything print and digital. I bring a diverse skill set, including branding, content creation, corporate brochures, presentations, illustration, animation, CMS design, and UI design. I'm looking for a productive role where I can make an immediate impact and add value to a in-house marketing team.
Available from July 25 for contract / permanent / remote or hybrid roles
Whether you're an SME seeking occasional design support or a creative team in search of a dependable additional resource, I boast a proven track record of consistently delivering high-quality work, on budget, and on time.
I've embraced roles as an employee, freelance contributor, and trusted contractor, seamlessly blending within in-house marketing or design teams and collaborating with external creative agencies.
My passion is branding and I shine in orchestrating complete visual transformations and meticulously crafting comprehensive branding guidelines. I've a keen eye for typography and a knack for clear layouts and can breath life into diverse projects.
Technical skills
I produce clear and creative layouts in InDesign. I'm experience with using its Alternative and Liquid Layout features. I've a strong background in prepress and equally well-versed in producing fluid, interactive digital media.
I edit video and create animations and special effects for brand idents, social media content, digital out-of-home advertising, showreals and L&D environments.
Product shots, gifs, retouches or brand assets - I make effective use of Smart Objects for non destructive edits, I use Generative AI creatively and appropriately - and always name my layers.
I've bags of experience with creating engaging presentations and pitches. I know my way around creating a Powerpoint template but happiest if you let me design your whole deck.
I create vector illustrations, infographics, isometric drawings and surface pattern designs with Adobe Illustrator. I'm experienced in using the 3D tools, special effects and Appearance panel to create clean, lean and editable designs.
I'm an experienced Brand Guardian and evangelical about asset management, version control and approval processes. I can build and manage a Digital Asset Management system and find efficiencies to optimise workflows
I've collaborated with design teams on web and mobile app projects creating interactive wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes. I've experience of working to - and collaborating on - Universal Design Systems. I'm familiar with and understand the design principles and limitations of HTML and CSS.
Sometime you just need to see it in 3D! I have experience in AutoCad and 3D Studio Max. These days I use Adobe Dimension for product mockups and Sketchup for exhibition design.
