> Part-Time, Cafe WaitressI worked at the Neptune’s Diner in Wakefield for two and a half years before I resigned to put more time into my work at University. My Job was to waiter for customers and to also prepare food, clean the dishes and do all sorts of other small jobs where needed.

> Part-Time, Small Print FirmForward Thinking Media was a small print company located in Wakefield. I was the designer in the team and it was my job to create all the artwork for various printed matter such as menus and business cards, as well as discussing ideas with the customer. I worked there for six months until unfortunately the business had to close. I have samples of work I created there.

The SHARP Agency

Xamax Clothing Company

Last Argosy

I have an established network of connections with the design community throughout Huddersfield and that lead me to the opportunity of working a short placement for the advertising agency SHARP. I worked for three weeks as a part of the design team and was given a wide range of tasks for many of their biggest clients including Consort Medical, Best Western and NUS. I also worked on some of the agencies social media content and prepared presentations for new clients. I exceeded the expectations of the team members and many considered me very helpful which lead to me being asked to work another week additional to the initial two weeks agreed.

I recently made ties with a local clothing printing firm, Xamax Clothing. I have an agreement with them to work freelance on any bespoke designs they receive which could be for any of their wide range of products from screen printing, sublimation printing or embroidery.

I am a part of a collaboration called the Last Arogsy, we are a core group of graphic designers who work with other creatives to explore our shared love for lost relics, archives and the intriguing artefacts we stumble upon.
