ILLUSTRATIONS EDITOR | IMPACT MAGAZINE
2016 – 2017
This year, my skills were harnessed by senior management in the brand new role of Illustrations Editor. I am in charge of not only the visual pieces within each issue, but also of putting together my own team of illustrators, in order to ensure creative variety and as much collective participation as possible. While it has been challenging to lead a team myself while also continuing to create illustrations, it has been an incredibly rewarding experience, teaching me a great deal about how to be an effective, fair and organised leader. My illustrations have also been on the cover of the magazine on a third of the issues this year.
