I am an Integrated Production Artist at the Specsavers Head Office in Guernsey. I joined Specsavers straight after my A-Levels and so have been here for nearly 10 years. Within my role at Specsavers I have produced work for many different countries around the world (and languages) including Spain and the Nordic countries, as well as UK, ROI and Australia across both digital and print work. I originally applied for a 3 year apprenticeship, which I got into a group workshop and an individual interview. This then lead to me being asked to go for a Junior Web Designer role which I accepted, a few years later I moved out of this role and became a prominent part of the production team. My key skills include strong attention to detail, good logic/problem solving skills and the ability to produce a high volume of work in a very fast-paced environment.
My work at Specsavers
Over the last couple of years I have also been able to take the Adobe Certified exams to become certified in InDesign, Photoshop and Visual Design.
My Personal work
When I’m not playing netball I also love to be creative outside of work too, my main strength being pencil drawing with the love for watercolour paints and also testing out and experimenting with other textiles and methods to better improve my work.
Outside of work
Outside of work I am a very active netballer, having represented my Island since the age of 11 and also heading off to England trials for the 23 and Under age group when I was just 18. I was one stage away from getting to go to the World championships in Australia and my desire to play at the highest standard I can still stands. I was also lucky enough to have been selected for the Invitational Netball Island Games in November 2023, this is where we got to represent Guernsey and play against teams such as the Isle of Man, Orkney, Shetland, Ynys Mon and Jersey.
Fun fact: I sleep with my eyes open.
More netball!
