CV and portfolio sample for myself promoting my skills as a graphic designer, illustrator and video editor.

1. Experience
Freelance Graphic Designer March 2019 - Present
As a freelance graphic designer I work on all things digital. Current projects include full rebranding of a Welsh escape
room review blog, the concept, writing and illustration of a children’s book and product designs for my new
geeky-themed e-store.
Designer at New Directions June 2016 - March 2019
Primarily I worked on designs for print and digital, working in a small marketing team to produce designs for internal
stakeholders. This included website design and maintenance; assets for social media campaigns; brochures and flyers;
email templates; infographics; style guides and brand management; Powerpoint presentations; video editing and flyer
design. Additionally, I took on more unique work such as photoshopping staff to look like 1920s gangsters for the
annual company conference.
Graphic Designer at OysterWorld May 2014 - June 2016
My main duties were the design of all artwork for marketing. This included social media assets, video editing, and
design of websites and pitch packs for new projects. I was also responsible for the rebranding of the company, printed
promotional materials, the design of all illustrations to be made by other team members, and was a key team member
in the organisation of events that we attended.
Creative Director at Mr Dog Films April 2013 - May 2014
As Creative Director I was responsible for all graphic design and management of a small team of artists as well as
being in charge of overall branding. Our main project was making a Facebook game for horror film - Banshee.
