EMPLOYMENT
TERRY MILLER ASSOCIATES
NOTTINGHAM 2000 - 2001
My introduction to the industry saw me
learning, very heavily, about all aspects
of designing for print, client relations
and the deadlines and pressures that come
with them. I was however, very grateful
not be sheltered from the forefront of
the studio, and with the evergrowing
responsibility I was given, I lost my tag
as junior very quickly.
GUPPI 2001 - 2008
Joining Guppi at conception as an
established designer, I continued my
unsupported design of games and toy
packaging but made the annual monopoly
projects my own, as well as setting
redesign presidents for 2 substantial
annual toy catalogues - all of which was
essential for the company's future. I
notably became Guppi's specialist in
photo manipulation and also began
learning web design in order to build the
company's site. However, I became very
competent in everything the direction of
the company had to offer and the time for
a new challenge came in late 2008.
FREELANCE 2006 - Present
With my boss’ approval, I expanded into
more personal projects in my spare time,
starting with a very ambitious project
for a friend, who was planning the early
stages of a small music festival in
Birmingham. The ‘Tronic’ festival project
demanded a fresh logo and identity, a
full website with a high Google rating,
myspace & facebook promo pages,
flyers, posters, tickets and networking
cards. Since then I have undertaken
graphics and web work for Yoga Chikitsa,
Swift Instruction Flight School,
Lasershape
(hi-tech profiling plant),
Combi-Ride (advanced sports surfaces
manufacturer) and YMCA Digital
(Nottinghamshire YMCA’s Digital
Media Program)
NOTTINGHAMSHIRE YMCA
2008 - Present
Thrust straight into a massively
demographically varied environment, not
only professionally but culturally and
socially, I thoroughly enjoyed my first
year. Enjoying such unparalleled demand
saw me achieving unparalleled
productivity which quickly earned me
carte blanche on most of my assignments
...and man did that spur me on! Long may
this continue...

PERSONAL STATEMENT
I’m assertive, talented and reliable,
with an aptitude for multiple working
disciplines and mediums. Partnered with a
friendly, confident candour, I can easily
adapt to differing colleagues and
environments. As a consequence, I am very
easy to work with - however never so
arrogant to believe I cannot learn
something from everyone I meet.
Key Skills With an eye
for just about anything visual, creative
and artistic, partnered with my
competency in Photography, AV Production
and Copywriting, I can turn my hand to
just about anything.
Notable Travel 2005 saw
me travel to Australia, alone, for 3
months. This scared the hell out of me
but I maintain it was the single most
important decision I have ever made. It
taught me so much about people,
confidence and how misleading stereotypes
can be. It hugely influenced who I am
today. Lesser so, the same can be said
about to my trip to Thailand in
2007/2008. The impact of a culture
totally contrary to the one we take for
granted is as daunting as it is inspiring
- and that's what makes it so rewarding.
Interests I have a great
passion for football and play regularly.
In fact I am in the process of assembling
a 5-a-side league team with a few
friends. I love to create music when I
have a minute or two and I’m also a keen
biker. In a social arena, and as cliché
as it sounds, I love meeting new people.
