Barnes

I’m a soon-to-be graduate from Sheffield Hallam University with a BA (Hons) in Digital Media Production, bringing together a unique mix of creative, technical, and hands-on experience. throughout my time at Hallam I have developed my skills with a key focus on videography and photography.

During my time at university, I worked as the Social Media Manager and Head of Marketing for a construction and renovation company. In that role, I led a full rebranding initiative, managed all social media channels, and developed strategies that showcased the company’s work and increased its online presence.

Prior to joining Sheffield Hallam, I was accepted into the University of Bolton to study VFX and prop making—another area of personal passion. While the pandemic changed those plans, it also opened the door for me to pursue digital media, where I’ve been able to blend my interests in visual storytelling, technology, and design.

Outside of my studies, I’m passionate about set design and prop making, which I’ve pursued independently for years. My final year university project was a personal milestone—an immersive exhibition that brought together all my creative skills, combining physical props and sets with digital media to create an interactive experience.

I’m now looking to build on this foundation through opportunities in digital content creation, media production, or creative industries where I can continue to push boundaries and bring imaginative concepts to life.
