What is your current job?
In-house Graphic Designer.

What sort of work are you doing?
I design all promotional material for my employers three subsidiary companies; Eye Lighting (mining & industrial lighting), Spectra Lighting (architectural and landscape lighting), and Australian Streetscape (outdoor furniture & amenities design). I mainly create large catalogues and also design press ads for architectural magazines.

What sort of deadlines do you work to?
The process of creating the catalogues takes many months from initial planning to printing. Press ads are usually last minute decisions and need to be done within a few hours.

What do you love about Graphic Design?
I love paragraph styles! I love formatting information and adding simple touches to make a design stand out. Designing while listening to music is very Zen so it makes for a great 9-5 job.

What do you find inspiring?
Music and magazines like Frankie. Also, people that learn from everyone but follow no one.

How has Shillington helped you gain employment?
Not only did Shillington teach me skills that impressed people in the industry the course also gave me so much confidence. I am so proud of my portfolio and the fact that I was employed so quickly after graduating.
