About me

I am a confident, vibrant and health conscience person, who always takes a professional approach to any situation and challenge, while remaining good humoured and level headed.

I am a qualified and highly experienced Website and Graphic Designer. I gained most of my experience from working in London and Sydney over the last 13 years. My professional experience in Web and Graphic Design has been invaluable in building my strengths in company marketing.

My passions include keeping fit, competitive running and trampolining (National level) and trampoline coaching (International level).

Because of my passion for my work, running and trampolining it has enabled me to travel and work all over Britain, Europe, New Zealand and Australia meeting new people. Through this, my ability to work and communicate within a team has become a natural instinct.

I feel I can bring personality, knowledge, innovation and skill to any project, while maintaining a positive drive to reach the desired solution.

I'm looking for an enthusiastic, professional and challenging position. A roll which will bring out my strengths in creating beautiful, efficient, user-centered design solutions.
