“Opportunities don’t happen, you create them”

What were you doing before you started at GoPromotional?
Prior to joining GoPromotional I spent time working in the hospitality sector along with a variety of other part time roles all of which was complemented by freelance graphic design projects.

What does being a Senior Graphic Designer entail?
My main role is to head up our design team ensuring that clients receive high quality visuals of products featuring their logo and message prior to order placement. In addition, I am responsible for the look and feel of our website and coming up with new creative solutions and angles to help drive the business forwards from a design, marketing and aesthic point of view.

What do you enjoy the most about your role?
Working with a large variety of clients from a host of different industry sectors, as well as working on new designs and content for in house projects, no day is the same!

What’s one of the biggest lessons you’ve learned in your career?
The biggest lesson I have learnt is that attention to detail and communication are vital for providing my colleagues and clients with the best possible outcomes for their designs, quotes or enquiries.

What do you like about working at GoPromotional?
The work environment and morale in the office is one of the best things about having a career at GoPromotional, there’s always someone to lend a hand or talk to. The office has a real family vibe to it which we all thrive off.

If you could pick up a new skill in an instant, what would it be?
If I could learn a skill in an instant, I would like to be more athletic so I could go higher in the football pyramid.

What do you get up to outside of the office?
Outside the Office I play football and attend the gym as well as running my Graphic design side projects.
