4. How long have you worked in the design sector and when did you join agencypds?
I joined agencypds in September 2017 and have worked in design studios for the last 10 years.

5. What aspect of your Job do you like the most?
I enjoy coordinating and organising multiple projects for a diverse range of clients, from large corporate companies to smaller charities. Every day and each project is different at agencypds.

6. What would you say is your greatest strength within your role at agencypds?
My role requires an eye for detail, from understanding briefs and providing accurate quotes to proofreading projects before they are delivered to our clients.

7. Who or what has been a big influence on you throughout your career in design?
The design studio at Eurostar was my introduction to the world of design and where I learnt a huge amount from working in a multi-cultural environment. The company culture was built upon embracing cultural differences, which were reflected in Eurostar’s brand and design. Working in an in-house studio was valuable experience for my role here at agencypds.

9. Give us three examples of design work you admire?
Pret for the food photography on their in-store posters, Jo Malone for the elegance and simplicity of their packaging and Innocent smoothies for their copywriting.

13. If you could pass on one piece of valuable advice to your clients what would it be?
Take the time to proofread before approval as there will always be something that you didn’t see at first glance.
