About me

I have worked as Senior Creative in both agency and in-house environments for almost 10 years, covering all areas of graphic design.

Having lead successful teams of designers in my most recent positions, I believe I possess a talent for developing ideas, motivating others, monitoring progress, managing workflow and expressing feedback. As well as possessing creative flair and an analytical mind, I believe my strongest assets are versatility, enthusiasm, determination and passion. I'm a very organised person and I pride myself on attention to detail and high standards. I love to get involved in my work and lead by example. I am a conscientious worker - always willing to do extra hours, and go that extra mile - a strong believer in the ethos the more you put into a job: the more you get out of it!

One of the things I enjoy most about a working day is the opportunity to develop firm relationships with those around me. At heart I am a team player and I enjoy the process of collaboration, but I'm more than capable of using my own initiative and making crucial, informed decisions under pressure. My career to date has required me to be a good communicator and to rely heavily on my interpersonal skills - not only when working with big names in the retail and licensing industries, but also when liaising with colleagues, internal departments, clients, customers, artists, licensees, suppliers and specialist manufacturers in the Far East.

I hail from Devon, but currently live in Wiltshire (a career move), however I intend to relocate back to Devon/Cornwall when the right opportunity presents itself. I have always lived in the region, so openly accept that due to location and accessibility, travelling as part of the working week is essential!

My CV will provide additional details regarding my background and qualifications. I have also attached some pages from my minifolio to give you a taster of my work. I would be very happy to talk you through my full portfolio should you wish to see it. References are also available on request.

Many thanks for your consideration.
