We thought it was time we introduce the newest member of the Adventure Team and tell you a little bit about her!

ย 

Say hi to Caitlin Beales, our Junior Designer here at Adventure!

ย 

ย 

Hi Caitlin! Thank you for joining me. Do you want to tell us a little bit about yourself and what you like doing?

Hello, so I am Caitlin. I think the office would say Iโ€™m a bit of a talker, asking random questions daily.
ย 
We love your questions! ‘What is your favourite supermarket, to walk round?’ and “What colour horse would you have?’ are some of our favourites!!
ย 
It’s good you love them!
ย 
We really do. What do you do when you’re not at work?
ย 
When Iโ€™m not yapping in the office, I enjoy spending time with my little dog Teddy and my boyfriend โ€“ probably talking to them both too much to.
ย 
Aw, we love Ted! He’s been a gorgeous added bonus. We love him coming in.
ย 
He does love coming in and lounging around bless him. I think he really likes the team.
ย 
How about yourself? How have you found your first 2 months? You joined at a difficult time for us but you have just fitted in so well and done amazing.
ย 
I’ve really enjoyed my first 2 months. I feel like I feel I have really settled in nicely. The team are so lovely and now that I have been forced into watching Lord of the Rings by them all I feel like I fit in even more.
ย 
Haha, yes watching Lord Of The Rings is a requirement to work here, even I have to! What did you previously do for work?
ย 

I only graduated last July so this is my first permanent design role. I actually worked at a Wetherspoons for 5 years part-time whilst I was studying. I did spend a 3 months interning at 3 different design agencies in London and Bristol, gaining experience in design and copywriting.

Those experiences must have helped you develop as a designer since leaving uni. You can turn your hand to anything we give you! What kind of projects are your favourite to work on?

I love working on branding projects. It always so satisfying developing a logo in the early stages and watching it all come to life. I also do like to dabble in copywriting as my copywriting internship was my favourite out of the 3.

Did you always want to work in this field?

I started graphic design when I was in year 8 and it has always interested me. It was always the subject I got the best grade in during GCSEโ€™s and A-Levels, so it just felt right to try and get a job relating to it. I definitely think I was made for a creative job.

Itโ€™s so lovely youโ€™ve had an interest in design from such a young age. What are you looking forward to in your new role?

Working with small businesses to help elevate their branding. Iโ€™m also interested in learning how to develop websites.

We canโ€™t wait to see the work you produce! We are very lucky to have on the team.
