About me

With 15 years of proven and extensive graphic design experience, I am now seeking an exciting freelancing opportunity, with the view to becoming a permanent team member. As an ongoing creative freelancer for two London Advertising Agencies (not contracted), I generate accurate print ready artwork and design concepts for projects ranging from retail promotional collateral, to website designs, to corporate brochures and literature. I greatly enjoy the challenge of these intensive deadline environments providing innovative solutions for a multitude of design disciplines.

Exposure to a variety of employment environments from corporate design teams, to sole responsibility of the design department, to assistant to art director, has allowed my involvement in a multitude of graphic design projects including:

• Corporate identity creation

• FMCG packaging for UK retail company and Australian national and international client base

• Brand creation and development for retail products and store environment

• Corporate brochures and invitations

• Magazines and catalogues

• Residential and commercial development displays

• Textile designs for repeat patterns and placement prints

My major strengths and attributes include:

• Advanced fluency in Industry standard software; Adobe CS4 - InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat Professional, Microsoft Office, Quark XPress, FileMaker Pro, Studio Print

• Strong, creative thinker, being innovative both conceptually and visually

• Well developed interpersonal skills, with the ability to build excellent

relationships with clients and co-workers

• Speed, attention to detail and commitment to careful, accurate work

• Highly motivated, reliable and flexible. Prepared to work prolonged hours to ensure the deadline is met

My folio presents comprehensive examples of my design achievements and is available upon request. Thank you for your time.
