| PROFILE |
| E D U C AT I O N & Q UA L I F I C AT I O N S |
I am looking for an opportunity to join a dynamic team to help me build on the skills I have already acquired during my time at Loughborough University and on placement. I have developed a strong interest and understanding of graphic and layout design and branding, and I am keen to put what I learnt into practice.
2011-2015
The ability to identify key trends within a market played a significant part in the successful development of my final year degree projects. Drawing on strong analytical skills in order to develop more distinctive and functional solutions, whilst responding to the needs of my clients, has also given me a greater appreciation of how to put theoretical problems into practice. I believe this is one of my strengths and an area I would like to build upon.
