About me

My background is in design, both creative and technical, within all parts of the design process, from initial concepts to the end result. In more recent years, I have taken on greater management responsibilities and have become more focused on packaging and POS development. Having worked for seven multi award winning companies, I have a great material knowledge and experience in structural design, visualising, artworking, and project management, as well as good interpersonal and networking skills. The environment is important to me, so I always aim to keep my work as ecologically sound as possible. This work is really satisfying as I am able to show off my artistic flare, put my technical skills to the test and pass on my knowledge to others. A challenge is something I enjoy, whilst exploring a wide variety of skills, in a fast paced environment.

In my spare time I enjoy photography (See 'stinacap' on Instagram) and abstract painting. Also, I like to recreate photos that have meaning to people and enjoy drawing from art galleries and exhibitions. I keep up to date with the design world by reading Creative Review magazine and by looking at various design publications. Design is not my only past time, I like to keep fit by participating in lots of different sporting activities, such as squash, cycling and swimming.
