Experience
Senior Digital / Web Designer
Areca Design Ltd. – Worcestershire, Evesham
July 2016 to Present
Strong communication with clients. My role involves overseeing and working closely with the Web and App teams, and to provide team members technical advice on how to tackle challenging tasks. My role involves the designing of website templates, web graphics, motion graphics, web animations, print graphics and video editing with a strong emphasis on optimising a range of different file types to precise specifications.
Although I mostly create visual materials, I also work in coding and am responsible for setting up, populating and proofing content in WordPress and other CMS websites.
This includes strong use of HTML and CSS to ensure the content displays correctly between desktop and mobile devices. Coding email templates in HTML and CSS is also required on a regular basis.
