About me

My name is Neil Parkes, and I am please to meet you. \r\n\r\nBeing Senior Designer at Windrush has allowed me to hone my commercial design skills across a wide range of clients and subject matters including POS, B2B and many other fields.\r\n\r\nKey skill sets:\r\n\r\nAn excellent knowledge of printing techniques and digital media and the ability to create highly creative output on tight deadlines.\r\n\r\nMentoring and training of a design junior position.\r\n\r\nAdvanced project management skills and the ability to deliver multiple deliverables for several clients at one time to multiple deadlines.\r\n\r\nBefore that I was the lead designer for an international NGO called Earthwatch based in Summertown, and I also run my own freelance company called Copperhead Studios. My work at Earthwatch was all about speaking to international audiences across many cultures in many formats involving branding, print, and illustration, and a high amount of direct marketing.
