Middlewich Roofing, a family-owned business with a history spanning 60 years and three generations, approached me through a referral seeking a revamp of their current website. During our consultation, they also expressed a need for rebranding. I worked closely with Middlewich Roofing to strategically plan our process. Before initiating the website revamp and rebranding, we carefully allocated a budget, taking into account the costs of UX/UI, branding, and web development. The total cost of the project amounted to £6,500. It was completed within two month period, one month of design and one month of web development. The main pieces of software used for these projects were Adobe Illustrator and Figma.

Whilst contracted at a studio called NFTIE, I designed an entire website for the famous cricket player Sunil Gavaskar, showcasing his NFT collection during the peak of the NFT boom.

Employment History

East End Printers - Apprentice Graphic Designer May - August 2016

Apprentice Graphic Designer: At London-based print production company East End Printers, I gained invaluable insights into the dynamic interplay between print and digital design. This experience equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the nuanced differences between the two mediums. Additionally, I developed strong administrative skills and played a pivotal role in facilitating the distribution of visual merchandising materials. A significant aspect of my role involved updating and revising client designs in collaboration with the team. This required a keen attention to detail and a proactive approach to ensure client satisfaction. My responsibilities spanned various areas, including print production, screen printing, vehicle design, and installation, as well as digital design. Through hands-on involvement in these diverse projects, I honed my skills in both traditional and contemporary design methods, further solidifying my expertise in the field. This multifaceted experience not only broadened my skill set but also enhanced my ability to adapt to evolving client needs and project requirements

Verb Brands - Apprentice / Junior Digital Designer visualrif.com/moncks-of-dover-street

March 2019 - July 2020

At Verb Brands stands as the cornerstone of my design career,serving as a pivotal game changer that shaped my professional trajectory. As my first major design agency experience, Verb Brands provided me with invaluable insights into the design industry, offering a comprehensive understanding of processes, pipelines, methods of working, and effective communication skills. This experience not only refined my design abilities but also molded me into the professional I am today.

During my time at Verb Brands, Chris Donnelly, in his exact words, identified the entrepreneurial spirit within me, a sentiment that resonated deeply and fueled my passion for design.

This recognition instilled a sense of confidence and drive, motivating me to continually strive for excellence in my work. One of the most significant accomplishments during my tenure at Verb Brands was the successful completion of a 24-page website design project for Moncks Of Dover Street, a prominent brasserie located in Mayfair. Within a remarkably short timeframe of just one month, I conceptualized, designed, and implemented the website, which subsequently generated substantial revenue amounting to £12,000 for the company. This achievement, accomplished at the age of 21, not only showcased my design process but also reinforced my positive attitude and confidence in tackling complex projects
