    Work Experience
    -----------------

    Summary: GO Outdoors - Apr 2007 to present

    My most recent full-time role saw me working for a successful multi-national retailer that specialises in ‘destination’ superstores selling a wide range of camping and outdoor sports products to an ever-growing customer market. With over 35 superstores around England, Scotland & Wales, GO Outdoors has secured a spot at the top of the outdoor market by shaking off the recession, and its competitors, and growing from strength to strength.

    During the last 2 years of my time at GO Outdoors I was appointed to the role of Exclusive Brands Designer. This role gave me the opportunity to work on new and existing branding projects, product catalogues, packaging, product development and branding application. I enjoyed working on these types of projects as I find brand identity to be one of my favourite aspects of graphic design. In addition to this I have also worked on projects including press, magazine and billboard advertisements, promotional identity and promotional mailshots, creating customer-engaging in store environments across different departments throughout the estate, directional and way finding signage systems and product-level POS.



    Coolpicks Ltd - Feb 2006 to Apr 2007

    Coolpicks presented a great opportunity for me to build upon my existing skills and knowledge, whilst giving me a platform to produce strong creative ideas and solutions. At the time of joining, Coolpicks was a young design agency that mainly catered for small businesses providing a wide range of effective design services set to tight deadlines. During my time at Coolpicks I was approached to run the studio. This involved myself overseeing the day-to-day workflow of the studio and the other designers, making sure that jobs were completed on time and to a high standard.



    Print 4 Sheffield - Jun 2004 to Apr 2005

    Being the sole designer for this city centre based printers, I was faced with a role which included many new responsibilities I had not experienced before, but I felt I took on this challenge and handled myself well and as a result gained great confidence in working autonomously within the studio. The typical day to day work consisted of brand identity, business stationery, large format advertising campaigns, as well as preparing jobs for print. The company’s clients included the NHS, The University of Sheffield and South Yorkshire Housing Association to name but a few. Working within a printers gave me the opportunity to understand the print process from start to finish and made me realise the importance of setting a job up correctly so that no problems would occur further down the line.



    MB Advertising & Marketing Ltd - Sep 2003 to May 2004

    MB Advertising recruited me into their busy design studio as a Junior Mac Artist where I adapted well to the working environment and made the jump from education to employment without any hassle. MB Advertising is a successful advertising & marketing agency delivering nationwide advertising campaigns for the motor trade.

    My jobs included working up artwork from pencil drawings to final adverts ready for print, checking finished artwork using Flight Check and delivering print-ready files to various printers via ISDN, email and FTP. This role allowed me to further develop my Mac skills and has introduced me to new design programs and new methods of working.
