Three years of design work inside a Fortune 42 company, from graduate to leading the team.
From graduate designer to leading corporate brand and communications for a Fortune 42 company.
I joined StoneX on the graduate programme and spent the next three years working my way from junior designer to leading the production team. Along the way I supported group-level brand and corporate communications across everything from day-to-day design to high-profile external moments. A big focus was redesigning core corporate assets, factsheets, brochures, presentation materials, improving clarity and consistency across a global organisation with a lot of moving parts. One of the highlights was being designated lead photographer for the NASDAQ closing bell ceremony, marking 100 years of StoneX. It was the kind of trust you have to earn, and I was glad to have it.
Three years of growing into the job. And loving it.
Looking back, the StoneX years gave me a strong foundation. How to work inside a large global organisation, how to balance volume with quality, and how to earn trust across different teams and seniority levels. Improving the corporate design system was satisfying work, even if it was rarely glamorous. Getting things consistent across a company that big takes patience and attention to detail. The NASDAQ shoot was the moment I felt I'd really arrived. Being trusted to document something that significant, with that level of visibility, meant a lot.
