    _____________________________________________________________________________________________

    Design Studio People was an excellent bridge into the design industry post graduation. It
    provided me with an overview of the inner workings of numerous agencies including print,
    digital, integrated and in-house. Given my degree I was naturally drawn towards the
    complexity and team work involved in digital design and made my first step into the industry
    with Tonic. My role as Traffic Manager meant acting as a central cog within the agency,
    working closely with everyone across the creative spectrum assisting project process from
    pitch through to Go Live. Drawing upon my strengths in production process and the skills I
    have learned in project management I am now looking to step into a progressive digital
    Producer / Project Manager role.

    Design Studio People


    Executive Consultant
    April 2005 – May 2007

    I recruited for the design, advertising and media industry. This also included in-house design
    studios within blue chip businesses, charities and the public sector. My candidate base, from
    Juniors up to Creative Directors, consisted of all those involved in the creative and production
    process developing anything from packaging, branding, direct mail, sales promotion,
    advertising (online and offline), corporate identity, corporate literature, websites, interactive
    presentations and motion graphics. It was a client facing role and one which required me to
    have a full understanding of my candidate’s abilities and talents in relation to my clients
    needs. Producing results of the highest standard for clients and candidates was of the utmost
    importance. It was a diverse role that demanded time management, a skill for multi tasking
    and an innovative approach. I managed freelance teams, was a consultant for clients and
    candidates looking to fill permanent roles, advertised online and in monthly design
    publications such as Creative Review / Design Week and was instrumental in sales
    campaigns and business strategies for DSP.

    Interests Achievements
    I have an eclectic scope of interests or better said I’m in to most things. Life’s too short not to
    be. Travelling around the world has given me the opportunity to put my interest in
    photography to the test and I’ve come back with some corkers! I’ve always got a book on the
    go and read a wide ranging variety; it’s a great insight into the reality of others. I love music
    but unfortunately have no talent for playing an instrument or song writing. Art and design has
    always been a key interest of mine from painting and drawing in my spare time to having a
    deep appreciation for the work of others. I have an excellent eye for what constitutes good
    design and only wish I had more of a talent for creating it, although as a good organiser and
    project manager I do have a skill for producing it. Anthropology, geology (or perhaps just a
    fascination with interesting stones), cultural studies, natural science and animal behavioural
    studies, astronomy (to be honest I mean star gazing here), religious philosophy, travel and
    visiting world heritage sites brings my interests to a nice conclusion.

    Spending six months in Spanish speaking countries meant I could take my seriously limited
    Spanish and develop it to the point where I can hold, albeit short and sweet, conversations. I
    am determined to be fluent one day. Learning to dive and qualifying as a PADI Advanced
    Open Water Diver was an achievement I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. It was like
    discovering another world whilst simultaneously learning all about the science involved in
    diving. The feeling of being able to fly like a superhero was of course a bonus. During my
    travels I also trekked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru, climbed the active volcano,
    Pacaya, in Guatemala and did the highest and mother of all bungy jumps, Nevis High Wire
    (134m), in New Zealand. More recently I did the highest canyon swing in the world, located
    near the Tibetan boarder in Nepal, which had me ashamedly screaming like a child. During
    my trip around South Asia I also studied meditation and Tibetan philosophy and taught
    English to Tibetan exiles in Mcleodganj, Dharamshala.
