Since working at Feref I've been working on many campaigns and projects for clients such as Disney, Paramount, Pathe, Universal and Sony Music. I have created Title Treatments for campaigns for Nick Jr and created a sub-brand identity for FilmBank Media, which was one of my first projects. Since then I have been creative lead for Trolls World Tour International Campaign and L.O.L Surprise Album Launch. I have been expanding my knowledge of artworking, Photoshop and After Effects. During lockdown I have taken on the responsibility of an in-house After Effects role which spans from 2D graphics and ad creation.
Working at Feref has further developed my skills for creative thinking across multiple platforms and how campaigns need to have outputs for all markets. A large part of the role is conceptualisation and producing ideas for proposals across all platforms.

I gained experience in art working for print, working with large scale print specs and how to scale down artworks. Most importantly I gained experience working within a studio with a collection of designers and an understanding of how a design agency functions.
