  Notcutts ltd.

  Jul 2019 - Jul 2019

  Garden center assistant

  As a secondary school work placement, it was required to organise and keep track of stock, make it look appealing to customers, and help these customers with any needs they had while shopping in the store. I absorbed the knowledge of basic safety procedures and how best to manage both products and people in a retail environment.

  Seasonal sales associate

  I worked in a seasonably busy environment, while maintaining a great standard of customer service and organisation of goods. I also worked well to balance this with a full time university education.

  The white company

  Nov 2023 - Jan 2024

  Seasonal sales associate

  I worked as a team member at the busiest time of year to assist customers with a luxury shopping experience. I efficiently managed the stock and appearance of the store, and acted as the first person a customer would come into contact with. I learned a myriad of useful things here, including cash handling, refund processing, dealing with difficult customers, stock ordering/locating, and more.

  University of chester

  May 2024 - Jul 2024

  Artist/designer bookmaker

  I developed a contemporary visitor book experience based on a research project into Victorian visitor books. This was put on display at the Grosvenor Museum as part of the exhibition 'Retracing Footsteps' and will contribute further to academic research on Snowdon's past and present visitors. I worked with archival materials and maintained historical authenticity with a variety of process experimentation, including (but not limited to) cloth binding, screen printing, and processing/editing of aged images using Adobe Creative Suite.

  Chester cathedral

  Jun 2024 - Sept 2024

  Graphic designer

  I worked as the graphic designer for Trena Cox: Reflections 100 - a project based on Chester Cathedral Artist-in-Residence Aleta Doran's research of a twentieth-century female stained glass artist and her influence within the city of Chester. This role consisted of creating exhibition interpretation, wayfinding, and catalogues that had a concise and accessible identity. I utilised the artist's work throughout (particularly her vibrant colours and details of nature) to create engaging designs. This took place primarily within the lead tourist destination, Chester Cathedral, but exhibitions also appeared at the Grosvenor Museum and local heritage sites. Show less
