Swrve real-time marketing automation increases customer engagement through dynamic campaigns that deliver relevant, personalised messages in micro-moments that matter across mobile, email, web, TV and emerging digital channels.

As part of Swrve’s design team, I assisted in creating assets ranging from digital to print. I led the design and build of illustrations that were used companywide. During my time at Swrve the company went through a full rebrand which had a fresh new look and feel that aligned with Swrve’s dashboard. The rebrand involved a new website, colour palette, design process, etc.

Some of the main tasks I carried out included:

• Creating logos and app screens for various industries (Retail, Telco, Finance, Games etc.) to show different types of messaging tailored to existing and potential customers

• Redesigning slide decks for sales and marketing and other material for presentations

• Designing and creating illustrative elements

• Video editing and animation

• Designing and preparing documents for print and liaising with print companies

• Providing marketing with relevant assets for social and campaigning purposes

• Updating and maintaining Swrve’s website

The UNFCCC secretariat (UN Climate Change) was established in 1992 when countries adopted the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

I completed a 9 week internship assisting the re-design and re-launch of TT:CLEAR, the UNFCCC’s web platform for all information related to Climate Technology. The work involved in preparation for the launch of this new website included:

• Analysing the new design and providing comments to improve it

• Monitoring project implementation

• Migrating pages

• Testing and debugging

• Exploring page layouts and providing mock-ups

• Re-designing charts and visuals

Other activities involved in the internship included: support in developing publications; implementing social media campaign for TEC 13; Updating the technology portal; undertaking maintenance to TT:CLEAR to ensure that it remained up-to-date and error free; liaising with ICT teams to ensure projects ran smoothly and were delivered on time.

designcore is a design led research hub aimed at bridging the gap between design research and industry.

After completing my BA in product design innovation I was awarded an internship with designcore, working first-hand on team based projects which delivered tangible outputs for clients. This provided me with insight into the value of professionalism, teamwork, and working to a deadline. Sketched concepts were put forward to the client. Upon approval of a concept to develop, I used visualisation packages such as Solidworks, Keyshot and Adobe software to produce rendered images of the selected concept and presented directly to the client the summation of the project. Upon approval I then created models using designcore’s ZCorp 3D printer.
