Swyftx / Senior Graphic Designer

JAN 2022 - AUG 2022

As the company grew in size the greater design and marketing team also hired more talent. The design team was fully flushed out with motion graphic designers, producers and photographers.

My role involved working with the team and lead designer to rebrand the company (slightly) with new colours and style while keeping the same overall layout and fonts. I designed platforms on the site such as the Learn blog with both its functionality and illustrations. Worked with major event sponsorships like the AFL, State of Origin, Super cars and Eseries. We held dozens of special events and competitions which all involved working with other companies and their designers.
