The Alliance’s “Creative Hero” – Josh Trim

The Alliance is proud of its Member Agencies and independent agency network, which is filled with creative talent. It is safe to say that independent creative minds understand how to create captivating pieces that compel their clients to take action.

This week's Creative Hero is Josh Trim, UI Designer at Salo!

Josh is one of those designers where a pixel is never out of place. His designs are always superb and his Figma files are a work of art and precision. But, that’s not even half of it.

Josh has been with is a little over a year now and what he has done for us has been incredible.

In recent months, Josh has been working as a Lead Designer for one of our agency partners, supporting their client projects. Our fairly new model of running creative departments for other agencies presented us with a chance to put someone in the field and Josh was certainly the right person to do that.

It meant that Josh would need to work closely with our partners and deliver on behalf of our partners too. Working with new teams and clients growing the creative reputation not just for our own agency.

What was super impressive was his ability to get up and running in other agency environments and act like a member of their team, leading projects quickly. He strongly believes in doing great work and you can see how that attitude takes over his approach.

Josh exceeds his day-to-day role from just the design element. He takes on the responsibilities of nurturing projects at their early stages, with ideas and research, right through to presenting to the end client. Doing everything with the attitude of providing the best value and quality.

The great thing is that we know that others see that too. He has been heavily praised by our agency partners and even their clients several times over.

As for the work he’s done, there have been a few ‘greats’ where he has solved some large challenges! Including simplifying how to book a Disney holiday or a cruise in the travel industry. 

He has also helped national house-building companies offer more engaging ways to customise and purchase new homes.

Lastly, Josh has also been incredibly supportive in nurturing other designers across our team and agency partners. He consistently shares his techniques and wisdom of his creative process and is always approachable. He continually delivers amazing prototypes that baffle the team about how he achieved them and puts so much thought behind the design.

All of this in just over a year of working in his first agency role, here at Salo Creative.

His passion is fuelled by doing great work. 

He’s a joy to work alongside. He’s a creative hero.
