Work experience
Telegael- Design Intern ( January-May 2022)
I was a Design intern in Telegael from the 17th of January to the 20th of May 2022. This was a great experience and it allowed me to learn so much and further develop my skills. Working in the industry allowed me to get a better understanding of the production pipeline and taught me how to adapt to different creative styles, so that I would be able to work for a variety of shows.
While at Telegael, I worked on 2D artwork, working on a wide variety of projects. I created a wide set of assets from props to characters. I was also able to work on backgrounds and create original layouts. I was able to work on both pre-existing characters and backgrounds, but also work on original character designs and original layouts.
New Look – Sales Assistant (September 2019 – January 2022)
I have worked part-time in retail for the past year and a half. This has been a great experience as it gives me the opportunity to meet lots of different people. I have learned in this position how to work as part of a team and how to get on well with others. I have been on time for work and never missed a shift, and I have gone above and beyond earning the trust of my manager and winning various customer service competitions among the staff.
