Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

My day-to-day role includes using software such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to design both 2D and 3D elements of beauty products. I also conduct a lot of market research into current trends and present this across the department. This involves researching the current market, and also closely following social media trends, in order to make creative and informed decisions when designing for the innovative and constantly evolving global beauty and wellbeing market.
