June 2018 - Present
I work two days a week as a Media Technician in Higher Education, where I use my graphic design expertise to support A-Level students and teachers. I assist with technical issues and provide training in Adobe Creative Cloud programs including InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro, both in one-on-one and group sessions. I help students produce media and film coursework by applying graphic design principles, utilizing SLR photography, and building websites with Wix website builder. Additionally, I monitor and maintain technical equipment, create teaching resources and help guides, and assist with photographing drama performances.
Here are is a sample of some of the turorials and help guides I have created.
