Hi, I'm Eleanor Smith, a creative designer with a love for all things artistic.
I was born in Kuwait, Asia, and later raised in the beautiful East of England, Norfolk. I still live in Norfolk, along with my tuxedo cat, Monica.
Ever since I was a kid, all I wanted to do was make and paint things. I still have everything I created since Infant School, and my attic is now overflowing with sketchbooks.
In high school, the art department was my home away from home. I loved experimenting with my work, often creating some very unique fine art pieces. During my A-levels, I branched out into the digital world, falling in love with photo manipulation. I also started producing digital artwork and drawings. I began dabbling with animation and video editing. I knew I had to go into the digital design industry.
I spent three amazing years at Loughborough University studying Graphic Communication and Illustration. It was an eye-opening experience, where I learned a huge amount about the graphic design industry and other areas of expertise.
Since then, I've worked in various roles as a designer, except for my time at Netmatters where I was a Digital Marketing Executive. There, I gained valuable insights into the digital marketing world.
I've had some fantastic achievements since getting my degree. I helped produce a recipe book with The Orangery Tearoom to raise money for Norfolk & Waveney Mind, and I was incredibly proud to see my animations for Woodforde's Brewery displayed on the LED screens around the Norwich City FC pitch.
In my spare time, I continue to create. This can be in the form of building Lego, completing puzzles, crocheting, or painting. I thoroughly enjoy adding new skills to my repertoire.
