Senior Video & Graphic Designer
Mail Order Online LTD
Railex Business Centre, Crossens Way, Marine Dr, Southport
PR9 9LY
My time at Mall Order Online provided an excellent opportunity to develop my skillset in graphic design and expand my knowledge of photography and videography within a studio-based setting.
​
When I joined, the company was experiencing rapid growth, and I was brought on as a graphic/video designer to maintain and develop the company brand across all sectors, from printed materials to website maintenance and 1 social media marketing. Working within a small team, I managed design responsibilities across multiple projects, meeting deadlines and collaborating closely with the Marketing Manager and E-commerce Executive.
​
Over time, I had the opportunity to further develop my role, becoming the senior designer for the company. This involved managing the launch of three new brands within the company: Floofy Friends, Pillow Talk, and Link Lighting. This led to increased responsibilities both within and beyond my initial role. I participated in the hiring process, oversaw the work of other designers, ensured high standards were met, and provided basic training as needed. I also took over management of the photography department and spearheaded a catalogue refresh to better portray our products to customers. Simultaneously, I redesigned our website with a mobile-first approach to layout design.
​
I solely led the development and creation of Link Lighting, encompassing product creation/ development, branding/identity, website, video assets, packaging, budget management, and oversight of the photography and social media marketing teams.
I have also been able to further refine methods of videography in a studio environment, gaining hands-on experience in set design, studio lighting, voice recording, and editing to create finished products from start to finish.
