Hello, that’s me! Pretend I’m pointing to a great piece of spec work.
Actually, I’m pointing to one of my designs - so time to tell you a little about me!
I currently work as a freelance illustrator and copywriter. Before that, I worked for 2 years as a content creator for Maxmedia agency, where I wrote copy, managed and curated social accounts, designed graphics, assisted in video production from concept to finished product, and even delivered some pitches and helped produce virtual events.
My education is varied: I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Advertising and Digital Communications, an Associate Certificate in Graphic Design and a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and Irish. I love to upskill (I genuinely mean that), so I’m always working away a course or tutorial to learn something new. I’ve also just begun a Top-Up MSc in Creative Commercial Communications in TU Dublin in conjunction with IAPI.
I’m a creative looking for full time employment, so if you like what you’ve read, send me an email at susanbmcging@gmail.com.
