About me

i was working as a freelancer whilst looking for a full-time job. I worked at the Marks & Spencer's HQ in Paddington London W2, Gear4 (Disruptive Ltd) in High Wycombe and produced artwork from home for Belkin BV in the Netherlands and Screaming Colour in London. Early last year I worked at the Ben Sherman HQ, London EC1, which led to me working as an artworker at the Marks & Spencer Menswear Design Team HQ in Paddington.

Prior to freelancing, I was employed for 10 years as a UK based graphic designer in the European in-house graphic design department of Belkin Ltd.. They are manufacturers of computer and audio/video cables, wireless networking, iPod/MP3 accessories, power protection and many more products for use with desktop and laptop PCs. My work involved the production of artwork for packaging, POS, cardboard shop floor display units, magazine ads etc.
