Hi, My name is Melissa from Kent and I’m a highly creative and conceptual graphic designer and illustrator. I have experience in both print and digital design across a wide range of industries, with many years of experience in, and not limited to: advertising and marketing collateral, corporate communications, event stands and gift materials, website design and management, product packaging and illustration. I am skilled in conceptualisation and producing visuals that step away from the norm and challenge expectations. All the above means that I’m able to bring my experience to interpreting briefs and best deliver projects across both online and offline channels, producing consistent, intelligent and strategic design. I always strive to approach a design project as effectively as possible, developing creative ideas that will resonate with the target audience. I understand what is needed to see a project through from start to finish, as well as succeed in its ambitions, whatever those specifically might be and make sure they are met on time and on budget. I am/have: • Focused on creating standout, effective design – for both digital and print. • Highly organised with great attention to detail. • Self-motivated, pro-active – both independent and collaborative. • Experience in print management, packaging development, retouching, exhibition/trade shows and illustration. • Good understanding of Generative AI image design and creation. • Strong project management. • Passion for visual storytelling. • Approachable, resilient and flexible. • A brand guardian. I always aim to create visually engaging artwork across all platforms - producing innovative designs and ideas that bring the design brief to life. CORE COMPETENCIES: • Marketing and sales collateral • Product packaging / visualisation • Logos and corporate / brand identity • Trade show materials & exhibition stands • Promotional flyers, posters and postcards • Social media graphics and animations • Client presentations and infographics • Social media marketing & mangement • Copywriting & proofreading • Newsletters - digital and print • Website visuals and management • Illustration (creative and technical) • Image retouching and correction SKILLS: • Adobe Creative Suite • Acrobat Pro • After Effects • Media Encoder • Canva and Figma • Quark Xpress • Mailchimp • Microsoft Publisher • Microsoft Office • Adobe Express • Wordpress • Google Web Designer
