About me
I’m James, an aspiring graduate who has completed his studies at Ravensbourne University with a 2:1 in Product Design. Currently working as a Team Leader for the John Lewis Partnership, I wish to expand my career possibilities and start myself in a new role which interests and challenges me. Due to my work and studies I have plenty of experience in teamwork, strategizing and communication, and I have a positive attitude to continue honing these skills and continue learning new ones. I am constantly practicing my design skills as it is still a great interest of mine, and I enjoy creating work to showcase in my portfolio which can be found at; jamesjonesproducts.myportfolio.com

Skills and Packages
Due to my degree, I have a wide range of knowledge and skills in many Adobe packages including Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Premiere Pro. I am also proficient in Microsoft Office programmes such as Excel, Powerpoint and Word as they too were pivotol in my time at University and more recently whilst working at Waitrose. My time at Univeristy was full of collaboration and teamwork-based briefs, something which Ravensbourne prides itself on, so I am used to working well with colleagues with completely different skillsets and ability. My degree required me to work on numerous briefs simultaneously which has developed my time-management skills, enabling me to produce high quality work within a timeframe.
