About me

I am an art director/graphic designer/illustrator with over 31 years of experience in the industry. I have spent 21 of those years as a freelance graphic designer/illustrator for many property (developers and agents), B2B, corporate, cosmetics, financial and retail clients, eight years as an art director with a healthcare and pharmaceutical advertising agency and until recently, three years in a medical communications agency.

Recently I have been working for Springer Nature as an Art Editor on a 9 month maternity cover contract. Working on front cover illustrations for Nature Reviews Cancer (NRC) and internal Research Highlights layouts and supporting illustrations, as well as scientific illustrations for both NRC and Nature Reviews Nephrology.

I have worked on both national and global accounts for many high profile pharmaceutical companies in which local and regional restrictions were an important aspect of a client's brief. Many of the client's projects had to be adaptable for the EMEA markets for both print and web, as well as working on various panel formats for exhibitions, conferences and symposiums, utilising my skills in. There have been many new business pitch projects that I was also involved in, including the creation of creative solutions for congress theme visual identities, involving congress stand design, the design of a supporting experiential journey, and the design of supporting digital and print material for conference attendees.

Illustration in both traditional and digital mediums is a big interest of mine and my abilities have often been utilised to bring concepts to life in the form of visuals, storyboards, diagrams, graphical icons and illustrations for both medical, scientific and general applications. Some of these can be found on my website. I have also been involved with a project in which my illustration played a major part in winning an award for the Pharmaceutical Marketing Advertising Awards 2012, receiving a 'Highly Commended for Avamys edetail (digital sales aid).

My illustration work has also won a place in Aquent's 2015, 2016 and 2017 calendars.

Presenting concepts internally and externally was part of my role and have good interpersonal communication and teamwork skills, a positive work ethic with the ability to thrive in a time-sensitive environment. This was especially important when working with my previous employer's group sister agencies in Chicago, Singapore and Shanghai and deadlines relating to their time zones and local client expectations.

I am now looking for projects which offer a wider scope of creative opportunity that I would also hopefully benefit from my graphics and illustration skills.
