Web Design

Learning this skill has proven to be a valuable addition to my experience. Learning html and css opened up a new area of the design industry. In this ever changing industry, one thing that has given me an advantage is that I am able to visualise and complete a concept from start to finish. The background in illustration and design I have has meant on many occasions, there was no need to outsource to other staff, or even other businesses. I think this is what makes being a well rounded designer so appealing.

Web Pages

The first position I held where I learned web design was with Interflora. Here I amended existing pages, created pages from scratch and created my own visual assets to add.

Although the websites I worked on have changed many times over the years, I am still proud to have worked on some pivotal projects within the business. Many of the pages I created, although altered, are still live.

Social Media and Blogs

Another key area in many of my design roles was social media and blogs. A lot of business use social media and blogs to direct potential customers to their websites, and so the imagery and message on those platforms needs to be just as interesting as on their homepages. Creating a conversation and being engaging is an important part of creating brand authority online.

Below are a few examples of social images from various roles, including Interflora, Global Distributions, V2 Vapes and more.
