About me

Hard working and commercially aware, ethical and easy going, highly creative and self motivated senior designer seeks happy and creative design environment to call his home... GSOH, FSH.

I currently work for myself as a Freelance Graphic Designer and part time for a full service design agency. I have over 14 years continuous design experience working in a variety of design environments. I have worked on numerous local and international projects for both London and Cardiff design agencies and my current personal key client is based in the Netherlands and the US.

As a Senior Creative my responsibilities include the production and management of marketing led strategic design, advertising campaigns (both national and international), POS, packaging, brand identity, corporate identity, direct mail, corporate brochures, product brochures etc. As part of my role as a Graphic Designer, I have been heavily involved in producing high-end design pitch proposals for client presentation. Some of the successful bids and pitches that I have been directly involved in winning include; Stride Rite, HSBC, Lloyds TSB and Jaguar Racing.

During my career I have gained an extensive knowledge of print production and finishing techniques. Although the majority of work I have produced has been for print, I also have experience of exhibition/large format, signage, packaging design and some web.

I am an extremely hard working creative designer with excellent typographic, conceptual and project management skills. I can take projects from brief through to delivery and have the ability to work on my own initiative or as part of a team. I believe that understanding the marketing objectives and design brief and working closely with my clients is key and during my career, I have had an excellent history initial design concept approval.

I have always been a committed team player, have a great sense of humour, and excellent inter-personal skills. I am familiar with both Mac and PC platforms and am fluent in CS5 versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, In-design, Quark 9. I also have a working knowledge of Flash and Dreamweaver, CSS and HTML.
