Work experience

dodio – The Do Studio
January 2022 – December 2022
At age 25 I was employed as a Graphic Designer at dodio, a design agency based in Sunderland. My role was to liaise with clients, set up meetings to discover what marketing strategies they would like to use, and lead brand scoping sessions to assist with logo and website creation.
Every day was different, and I loved the work. I learnt so much about working in a design agency, as well as how to send files off for large scale print. I also learnt a lot about website design, hosting, SEO, and ecommerce.
Core-37
Sept 2020 – Dec 2021
Straight after graduating from Northumbria University, I landed my first job as Junior Designer at Core-37. My role was to turn a clients vision into a reality. After communicating with the sales team, I would offer a variety of designs for the customer to choose. Once a final design was chosen, I would then mock up a 3D visual of the kit in Blender.
