About me

I am an incredibly enthusiastic and hardworking individual and my passion for all areas of Graphic Design

has not only helped me to develop my own visual style, but has also become my main focus and passion

in life. The education and work experience I have received has disciplined me not only in time

management and efficiency, but also in the use of effective composition, typography and branding identity.

I have over two years experience working as a graphic designer for a greeting card company where my responsibilities include the design and development of greetings cards, gift wrap, crackers, gift bags

and tableware. I am also responsible for setting up artwork for print production and training other designers in the use of software such as InDesign and Photoshop. Due to our varied client base I am required to vary my style considerably from job to job and to work to a very tight deadline each day.

I have also been working as a freelance designer for the past 3 years, mostly focusing on branding identity, graphic design and web design for clients such as Anna Lewis Jewellery and Focus Management Consultants.

I feel this is the area in which I would like to progress and expand, and I feel I have a lot to offer in terms of my attention to detail and eye for composition and typography.
