Joshua Shorte

Greetings,

I'm a graphic designer, Digital Marketing (DMI) and Business Analysis (BCS) trainee, and fitness enthusiast based between Cardiff and London, with a passion for visual storytelling, branding, digital media, technology, and data-driven problem solving. I've always been drawn to creativity and technology, whether that's designing graphics, editing videos, exploring digital marketing strategies, analysing information, or finding new ways to communicate ideas through digital platforms.

My background in graphic design has given me experience in branding, visual communication, and digital production. I enjoy bringing ideas to life through engaging visuals and meaningful communication, combining creativity with an understanding of current trends, digital culture, technology, and online audiences.

Alongside my creative background, I am developing my professional skills through Digital Marketing with the Digital Marketing Institute (DMI) and Business Analysis with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT (British Computer Society). Through these areas, I am building my knowledge of digital marketing, audience engagement, marketing strategy, business processes, analytical thinking, requirements analysis, and using information to support effective business decisions. I enjoy combining analytical thinking with creativity to understand audiences, identify opportunities, solve problems, and communicate ideas effectively.

I'm also developing my career within the fitness industry as a Personal Trainer Trainee. I'm building my knowledge and practical skills in fitness, exercise, training methods, and supporting individuals in working towards their health and fitness goals. My own experience in sports and martial arts has given me a strong appreciation for discipline, consistency, physical development, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

I'm a lifelong sports enthusiast with experience in rugby, football, hockey, taekwondo, and Shotokan karate. These activities have helped shape my discipline, resilience, consistency, and team-oriented mindset — qualities that I bring into both professional and creative environments.

I'm also a huge fan of film, television, gaming, technology, and pop culture, which constantly inspire my creative thinking and help me stay connected to evolving digital communities, technologies, and trends.

I enjoy meeting new people, learning from different perspectives, and collaborating on projects that challenge me to grow. Whether it's digital marketing, business analysis, design, branding, media, technology, fitness, or creative collaboration, I'm always interested in connecting with like-minded professionals and exploring new opportunities.

Let's connect and create something great together.

Having studied Graphic Design at Cardiff and Vale College, I've developed skills across branding, visual communication, typography, design strategy, and digital media production.

I'm also very capable with Apple's Ecosystem and enjoy exploring new technologies and digital tools.
