DANIEL BECKERC U R R I C U L U M V I T A E
Since 2008 I have gained experience working in both agency and in-house
environments, across a broad range of sectors. My projects have encompassed
many areas of print and digital design including brochures, corporate branding,
web design, press advertising, direct mail and email marketing.
I enjoy working within a creative team and strike a good balance between
contributing ideas and taking instruction. I also have management
experience, having worked as a Senior Designer, with training and motivational
responsibilities for junior members of staff. I am well organised and able to
manage multiple projects simultaneously, whilst ensuring communication with
team members and clients is maintained to a high level at all stages. Most
importantly, I absolutely love what I do for a living.
