About me

I am a talented, motivated and imaginative Creative Professional that prides myself on creative and accurate execution. Having specialised in design for print, from concepts through to print production, I am equally comfortable designing for Digital Media or for Print, using Adobe Creative Cloud, Bannerflow and Hype software to produce high quality artwork. My varied skillset gives me the opportunity to work collaboratively within a large marketing and design studio in a fast moving environment. As an experienced Designer, I have evolved with current marketing trends as part of my continuous professional development to keep pace with Digital Design trends.
I am committed to achieving excellence and honouring deadlines, being organised, diligent and experienced in prioritising workload to ensure flexibility in meeting business needs. I have excellent communication skills and work well in a multi-disciplinary team, I am able to work independently as required. I pride myself on being highly adaptive and responsive. My knowledge covers all design industry standard software packages, with strengths in design for print and digital media.
