At Pro Direct Sports, I worked as part of the creative production team, delivering high-quality, retouched assets for one of the UK’s leading online sports retailers. The role demanded both speed and precision — managing a high-volume workflow whilst maintaining consistency.

My main responsibility was for retouching and exporting hundreds of product images each week, performing precise cut-outs, colour correction, product clean up, and mock-ups optimised for e-commerce. Each asset needed to be visually consistent with company design briefs across a wide catalogue covering multiple sports, product lines and sporting brands.

Other tasks included collaborating closely with internal teams like photography, design, and marketing — to ensure all imagery aligned with campaign goals and company wide creative briefs. I contributed by creating editorial imagery for social media, email, print advertising, and web banners for major sporting tournaments, seasonal sales and new line launches.
