I worked as a Designer at The Spectator from 2016 - 2017, then served as Lead Designer after a promotion from 2017 - 2019. During my three year employment, I managed a team of three other designers. My team and I were responsible for laying out the paper's text and creating graphic contents while staying true to The Spectator's established style and branding. I was also responsible for creating original graphics for articles and occasionally the cover of the paper. This was all done swiftly and efficiently on a tight deadline.

I was also the school's advice columnist from October 2017 - June 2019.
