Project history
Progressed from artwork and digital production roles into senior studio leadership, ultimately building Specsavers Studio as a unified production model for high-volume, multichannel creative delivery across the UK, Ireland, Nordic, wider European and Canadian markets. Led final creative production, QA and delivery across print, digital, CRM, social, display, motion and internal communications. Built the operating model behind Specsavers Studio, consolidating previously separate production teams into a single cross-channel function. Used Adobe Workfront and operational reporting to improve workflow visibility and delivery performance. Led AI adoption work and represented Creative on Specsavers international AI Steering Group. Designed and ran an international AI hackathon in Denmark.
Worked in a creative agency environment, primarily producing artwork for local businesses and Creative Coffins. Developed an early interest in workflow automation and creative technology, creating bespoke tools that significantly reduced delivery times.
Worked within an in-house design studio producing packaging, print artwork and digital assets, with a growing focus on email design and digital production.
