Hello! I’m Rebecca, a Graphic Designer with a particular love of branding and typography. I approach projects thoroughly, thinking strategically to create work with well-considered design concepts. Really valuing people and community, I enjoy working collaboratively, meeting new people and creating work that betters the world around me.
After graduating from the University of Leeds in 2020, I worked hard to build my network. As a result of putting myself out there, I was recognised as a ‘Woman to Watch’ by designbywomen and as a ‘Pro Pick’ in Office of Craig’s Grad Showcase. I also landed my current position with Pollitt & Partners.
Completing a year interning gave me diverse industry experience, covering branding, packaging, UI & UX and campaign design. My hard-working, ‘can do’ attitude enabled me to return to 2 of these companies for additional placements within the placement year. With a background in Fine Art, I have a diverse skill set, including illustration and craft, as well as efficient digital software skills. I am a versatile and committed designer, ready to throw myself into new projects.
