About me

Currently working as a freelance Retoucher/Mac operator around East Anglia and the London Area. I have been working mainly for publishing companies, within the magazine and catalogue sector. Responsibilities I have been undertaking include general retouching and page planning, following client mark ups and working alongside art directors and editors. I have also on various occasions been handed fashion catalogues to manage through the reprographic process. This is due to my experience of working with different printing profiles and also having the ability to swatch match clothing samples accurately. Overall as a Mac Operator I can start and complete a project from getting the initial client layouts to sending the print ready pdf files to the printers. This means that I have built up great relationships with the companies that I do work for. I Am someone who takes pride in my work and willing to put those extra hours in when they are needed, this industry isn't 9-5 after all. If you would like to see what companies I work for and the Titles I have worked on please take a look at my website which has lots of information on it.
