About Riannon Bull
Riannon is a qualified Graphic Designer and self-taught Musician based in the Sydney region.
My passion for Graphic Design was sparked during High School, leading to early freelance work that continues to this day. Over a diverse career that spans two decades, I have had the privilege of creating inflight entertainment magazines for airlines globally, refined my brand identity, digital and print design skill-set and also took on hybrid roles across design and fashion coordination, where my responsibilities were not only layout design but also fashion shoots, casting talent, working to budgets and fulfilling advertiser coverage.
My latest venture was with Officeworks as Senior Graphic Designer where I was hired to set-up and lead the Design Services department. Throughout a decade, I enjoyed leading and mentoring the team whilst helping them develop and refine their skill-set. As the customer’s needs evolved, I streamlined processes and tools to gain greater efficiencies while retaining high-quality output. Beyond the team, I created thousands of online print templates for customers to use that were both generic and Disney licensed.
