What's your area of expertise? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I specialise in Design, which puts the people that we're designing for at the heart of the process. So, anything creative from UX and UI, to 3D and 2D creative design.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What types of roles do you recruit for?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Everything from freelance and perm Creative Directors, plus all levels of UX and UI, 2D and 3D Motion Designers, Digital Designers, Graphic Designers, and Finished Artists.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do you love what you do?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I love finding work<\/a> for superstar Talent that reflects exactly what they are great at and being able to help them work out their career path for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also love working with our clients; solving their challenges and working with them to find solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What industry experience\/expertise are you looking for in Talent?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anything creative! I look after such a wide range of Talent<\/a> and roles that it's really hard to pinpoint a specific industry background that I'm on the lookout for.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your top 3 tips for Digital Design Talent looking for new job opportunities? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Make sure your portfolio<\/a> is up-to-date when actively looking for work.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Be able to articulate, in simple terms, what you did and what part you played<\/a> in the design process.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Make sure your LinkedIn profile<\/a> is updated with all your contact details and a link to your website or portfolio.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What makes an ideal client relationship?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Open and honest communication is a must, with regular communication from both the hiring manager and the recruiter<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What are your top 3 tips for hiring managers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Be patient. It's a tough market right now and great talent aren't always seeking out new jobs. We're keeping our ears to the ground and approaching them.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Don't always try to replace someone with exactly the same skills. Be open-minded about what the next person could bring to the table that might be different and complement your team.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Don't aim for Talent to be in the office 5 days a week anymore. Top Talent are looking for flexibility.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Outside of work, what do you love doing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      I am a huge fan of kickboxing, so you'll find me training during the week. I also like to balance that out with doing yoga!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How do people get in touch with you?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
