About me
I have had many years experience working in both in-house and agency roles and am used to working in teams and alone.
My main strength is in print design. I am a trained printer as well as graphic designer. I have worked for many strong brands and always taken a job from concept to delivered product - this includes sourcing and liaising with print suppliers.
Also skilled in digital design, having created websites for a variety of clients, banners and other web media. I am familiar with the web design process and understand the abilities and restrictions of the medium. Self taught in HTML, CSS and other technologies. I am also experienced with video production and social media.
I have designed everything from product labels and packaging to exhibition artwork, product guides to billboard advertisements, all for several large multinational corporations and high street brands.
I am as equally used to developing brand guidelines as I am following them.
I am experienced in both holding and contributing to meetings of peers and Directors.
I have created technical documentation for both high-end technology and medical companies so you can be sure I have a flawless eye for detail.
I am equally adept working alone or as part of a team and thrive under pressure.
I have trainer-level knowledge of InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. Also proficient with video
editing software.
My more recent endeavours have taken me deep into the world of social media and 'YouTube personality' which have helped me develop my skills in wider areas such as public speaking and presentation, animation, and community management. I keep a strong eye on memes and other popular social media trends.
I created the brand for Mindcrack, an incorporated group of 20+ popular gaming YouTubers with over 2 billion views. My role here included logo design, merchandise design and procurement, banners and other printed media.
I have a young mentality coupled with the wisdom of 20+ years industry experience. I feel I would be
a valuable asset to any company.
