About me

With 5 years experience in a busy creative office, as well as having bootstrapped my own fashion start-up, I have developed a particular set of skills... Skills I have acquired over a very long career... All jokes and Taken references aside, I am a confident multi-disciplinary designer looking for my next juicy job to sink my teeth into.

I am a motivated self-starter, happy to take initiative and get on with things. I strive to bring enthusiasm and creative thinking to each brief, and am always willing to pick up new skills to achieve my vision. I have an excellent working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator, as well as Microsoft Office and Social Media platforms. I have a personal passion for typography and lettering, and I quite literally make a hobby out of learning new techniques - without being too cheesy about it, I simply love to learn. Being quite an organised person by nature, I respond well to deadlines and juggling multiple projects.

I am confident collaborating within a team as well as directing one, engaging and motivating my peers to achieve a successful result. Managing a busy office has helped me become an efficient and resourceful problem solver, thinking on my feet to face each challenge as it unfolds. I also was responsible for training up team members from scratch, playing to each person's strengths and making sure they produced great quality work.

Working chiefly with the printing of photographic images, I have heaps of experience with retouching and prepping for print. I have also been in charge of social media, newsletters and other such web content, and so understand the intricacies of this as well.

A stickler for detail and proper grammar, I'm the go-to-gal for misplaced commas and hidden typos. I pride myself on excellent communication, and so am able to co-ordinate with clients and suppliers alike.

I am really looking forward to finding my new creative home. To bring this little blurb full circle...I will look for you... I will find you... and I will work for you!
