StoneX Group Inc.
From graduate designer to leading video and production inside a Fortune 42 company.
Three years. Three roles. One company that kept giving me more to do.
I joined StoneX on the graduate programme as a designer, working across day-to-day brand and corporate communications. Factsheets, brochures, presentation templates, campaign assets — the kind of work that has to be done well for a global organisation to function, even if it rarely gets noticed. After a year I moved into a mid-weight role, taking on larger projects and more ownership. That's where I started leading on design for high-profile external moments — including 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. From there, my focus shifted. As StoneX's ambitions around video and content grew, so did my role. I moved into production, building out the team's video capabilities, managing our in-house studios, and eventually leading the design and build of the flagship T.V. studio. The work went from print and digital design assets to broadcast infrastructure — and I grew with it.
More responsibility, every year.
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.
