January Newbies: Welcome Isabelle, Jens and Lydia

We’re super excited to welcome a few new faces to Catch this month!

Firstly we have Isabelle joining us as Office Manager. After working on offline marketing campaigns for retailers at our sister agency More2 for around seven years, it was time for a new challenge. Having just had a wonderful, but tiring, maternity leave, it was the perfect opportunity to join Catch to learn something new!

It's been great to work with such a lovely bunch of people at Catch so far to help make the office run smoothly. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone a little better and ensuring Catch continues to be a great place to work.

Lydia has joined us as a Front End Developer after a career change in 2020. At Catch she’s looking forward to working with a great team on a wide variety of projects.

In her spare time, you’ll find Lydia huffing and puffing her way up the Lake District Fells or dreaming about thru-hikes whilst drinking hot chocolate.

Also joining our Front End team after many years working with us as a freelancer is Jens, a former graphic designer and front-end developer with many years of freelancing experience.

He started making websites in the 90s in his native Sweden and later went on to study graphic design, typography and animation in London where he still lives.

These days he’s passionate about combining his experience by making interesting and accessible interactive work as a Senior Front End Developer.
