Skills
In my career I have worked towards the ultimate ‘can do’ role encompassing illustration, graphic design, interior design, photography, model making, art direction, account management and company direction., Within these main roles I have also specialised in a variety of niche markets working both in commercial and private sectors to award-winning standards. I believe my particular skills would best be implemented in a design agency or production company where ‘all round’ design skills are required with client facing experience and budget/time management is of the highest priority in addition to the overall creative processes involved in fulfilling the client’s main brief.
Sector Experience
My professional works portfolio consists of international promotional and commercial advertising, artistic collaborations, illustrative content, C.D, D.V.D and interactive game design, exhibitions, still photography publications, stop frame animation, music video and feature film productions.
