Bodyswaps

Apr 2021 - Present day
Bodyswaps are a skills training company who use VR to enable the user to "swap" bodies with someone in order to experience the situation from both points of view. Their existing UI within the VR environment needed a revamp and I created the new elements for them. I have since worked on other 2D elements for use within their 3D environments.

"Zillah is simply brilliant. I have been working with her for many years now and have never known anyone better at taking a brief and making it better than you ever imagined. She is professional, cheerful and responsive. She intuitively knows what you need for a project and asks pertinent questions about things that my team often hadn’t even thought about. Plus, she always delivers on time. Highly recommended."

Make Real

Dec 2019 - Present day
Make Real people are a joy to work with. I have worked here on multiple projects over the years, from Art Direction for pitches to creating marketing collateral. They have a lot of really creative ideas here and I love bringing them to life. I also create 2D UI elements for use within 3D virtual environments.

"Zillah is always our go-to person when we need an outstanding graphical treatment. Some of our most landmark designs have come from her, and she's also a pleasure to work with. I've also found her very collaborative, consultative and open to feedback. She always brings loads of creative reference points to the table and is great at proactively communicating where she is with a task. She shares work in progress images as she goes, so you always feel really involved in what's being created. Zillah is genuinely one of the best graphic artists I’ve ever worked with!"

Learning Pool

May 2018 - Present day
I design the look and feel of e-learning courses using Adobe Illustrator and bring those designs to life with the responsive Adapt framework. I also get involved in marketing and building Articulate Storyline courses. I love having the creative freedom to add animations and tweak the CSS, making the end product look as polished and engaging as possible.

"Zillah has worked with Learning Pool as a freelance Graphic Design contractor for many years now. Zillah is a fantastic designer who always delivers projects on time and to a very high standard. She has worked alongside our in-house Learning Experience Team on some very important projects and has contributed greatly to anything she has been involved in. I can't recommend Zillah highly enough. She is creative, dependable and has great communication skills. She would be a fantastic asset to any creative team or project."
Mary Faughnan from Learning Pool

"Zillah's talent as a designer is unmatched. Her unique ability to elevate a design brief combines with a thorough professionalism that has made her indispensable to Learning Pool’s projects.

Delivering high-standard work punctually, Zillah’s designs don’t just look good—they effectively resonate with the target audience. Her collaborative skills and reliability make her an asset to any creative endeavour.

Strongly recommended."
