About me

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a recently Graphic Design and Illustration graduate and am currently seeking full time or regular freelance employment in a creative capacity. I returned to study as a mature student so although newly graduated I have many years previous work experience within the publishing industry.

I have attached my C.V. and a pdf portfolio of some of my recent work, if you would like to see more please do not hesitate to contact me. I hope you will find my work of interest, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Faithfully

Carmen Herbert

Yours faithfully,

Ms. Carmen Herbert
