About me in free style

Hi, I'm Jake Greenfield, a passionate and highly skilled designer with a love for creating visually captivating designs. I graduated from the University of Auckland in 2013, where I obtained my Bachelor of Design degree. Since then, my journey in the design industry has been nothing short of exhilarating.

My career began at Miracle Machine, where I worked as a Graphic Designer. Collaborating with the marketing team, I had the opportunity to create stunning marketing materials and product packaging. It was during this time that I honed my skills in creating designs that not only captured attention but also communicated the brand's essence effectively.

After a few years, I joined BeautLettos as a Senior Designer. In this role, I took charge of leading a team of talented designers and oversaw numerous design projects. From developing brand identities to designing websites and promotional materials, I thrived on the challenge of delivering exceptional visual experiences that resonated with clients and their target audience.

However, it was my deep fascination with the gambling theme that inspired me to embark on a new venture. In 2019, I founded BetPokiesNZ, a gambling website dedicated to serving the New Zealand market. As the Creative Director, I poured my heart and soul into creating an intuitive and visually captivating platform. Managing a team of designers and developers, we brought my vision to life, continuously enhancing the site to stay ahead of the competition.

Throughout my career, I've acquired a strong proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite, and my understanding of design principles, color theory, and typography allows me to create compelling visual narratives. I thrive under pressure, with excellent project management skills and the ability to meet tight deadlines without compromising quality.

I take pride in my creative problem-solving abilities and my attention to detail. I believe that effective communication and collaboration are essential in delivering successful design solutions. Being recognized with the University of Auckland Design Excellence Award was a significant achievement for me, and it motivated me to continue pushing the boundaries of creativity.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring new design trends, seeking inspiration from various industries and art forms. I believe that staying curious and open-minded is crucial for continuous growth as a designer.

I am excited about the possibility of joining a dynamic organization where I can contribute my expertise and make a significant impact. With a passion for design and a proven track record of success, I am confident in my ability to bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to any creative team.
