Oct 2005 - Jun 2007: Graphic Designer at Redberry Digital

My first graphics job out of University. I landed on my feet by working for an agency with contracts for large charities and Universal Pictures. I worked on movies such as Elizabeth The Golden Age, Mr Bean’s Holiday, Hot Fuzz, Smokin’ Aces and Atonement. My main learnings were around the refinement of a design by removing rather than adding.

Oct 2002 - Jun 2004: Graphic Designer at Screwfix Direct

During University I worked as a Graphic Designer on the Catalogue production team. I learnt a lot about alignment and layout.
