About me

I am a Graphic Designer with over two years experience of artworking in industry. I pride myself on having strong creative ideas, which with my proficient research skills can be taken through to deliver a professional end product. I am competent in Adobe Photoshop, In-Design, Illustrator and Acrobat as well as being able to use both Mac and PC. I also have some experience with Macromedia Dreamweaver and Flash.

I have a resourceful and imaginative flare for problem solving; I use my strong research skills to develop ideas and concepts that identify the key factors of target audience, content and style. I am experienced in working to deadlines within a studio environment and take a practical and methodical approach when working on a design brief. I have worked on projects across a variety of sectors and disciplines, ranging from corporate reports for The Cutty Sark and MDM props, Educational Exhibitions and leaflets for clients such as English Heritage to large format graphics for The Ideal Home show. I also have a lot of experience working on design pitches and taking a project all the way through from design to print and even sometimes assembly.

I am a dedicated and conscientious worker who strives for perfection and can be relied upon to give my all in any task that is set. I have solid written and communication skills and have considerable experience in speaking to clients and printers as well as working to brand guidelines. I have a good eye for producing aesthetically pleasing layouts and eye-catching colour schemes both with the aid of a computer and by using more traditional techniques such as collage and photography.

I have a passion for creativity and design across all disciplines and I try to use my skills anywhere I can, whether it be completely re-designing and decorating my home to making home-made greetings cards for friends and family.
