Amy Davis, Graphic Designer & Illustrator

About

I am a senior graphic designer with over 7 years in both print and digital medias. My experience encompasses the entire Adobe Creative Suite from photography to layout to video! I love to learn and am always excited to add another skill to my repertoire. An area I particularly enjoy is illustration, and love to use this in my design work.

Experience

Phrasee

Jun 2018 – Present

London

Designer & Web Manager

As the only designer in the company, I am responsible for all designed assets. This includes sales and marketing collateral, social media assets, event materials, videos, emails and branding work. In January I was promoted to Web Manager, and took on full ownership of the Phrasee website. This involved conducting in-depth user testing of the current site, building a roadmap, and introducing the team to SCRUM in order to work in an agile, sprint-based manner.
