Design agency welcomes new junior designer

Sutton Coldfield design agency Adventure Graphics has welcomed their newest addition to the team, Caitlin Beales.

Caitlin is the latest addition to the agency’s five-strong team at their studio on the upper floor of the old train station on Midland Drive.

She graduated July 2023 from her studies at Birmingham City University with a degree in Graphic Communication.

Owner and creative director Warwick Kay said: “Caitlin has been a great addition to the team.

“She fits in really well and seems to have settled in. She has already been producing some fantastic work.”

Caitlin commutes from near Coventry, often bringing in her dog Ted to visit the office.

After graduating, Caitlin interned at three different agencies in London and Bristol in design and copywriting.

She said: “Securing my first permanent design role is so exciting. After interning for three months I was so ready to secure a job.

“I feel so thankful to ex-Adventure employee Jade who was on my university course for referring me to Adventure as it is so difficult getting your first junior design position.

“Those three months taught me so many valuable lessons about industry and I feel they have set me up nicely for my new role.”

Adventure have been working with local businesses and the community for over 30 years, with Warwick priding himself on relying on word-of-mouth referral.

Most recently they have worked with Midas Recruitment, giving their branding and website a special upgrade.

They have also worked with family business Abbey Fire Centre in Erdington to help modernise their logo and website, creating an enjoyable online browsing experience.

Penny Kay, the agency business and projects manager, said: “We feel so lucky to work with such a wonderful variety of small businesses.

“We love that Caitlin is so eager to get stuck in with our projects and our clients are already loving her work.

“It’s so nice to have her onboard and it’s lovely to have another office doggy.

“We wish her all the best of luck in her new role.”
