About me

First things first! I am neither a Photoshop artworker and nor am I great in the Microsoft Office suite! I know my limitations! So I specialise in producing Adobe InDesign artwork for print or digital format, as well as Adobe Illustrator for packaging, maps, charts, etc. and Adobe Acrobat!

Technically adept Adobe InDesign and Adobe Illustrator based Creative Artworker, comfortable producing a 140+ page Annual Report & Accounts, Packaging with unusual or complicated dielines, Customer Journey build documents for Expo's and Events together with the graphics for the event and exhibition stands, or multi-lingual editions of the same report. I have a very good understanding of GREP coding and how to implement it into (long) documents through 'find/change' or in paragraph, character and/or object styles as well as setting up and using InDesign's 'Books' feature with cross-referencing.

Software knowledge base consists of Adobe's InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat, InCopy, Quark Xpress, Heidelberg Print Ready and entry level Control Print.

Main areas of operations include Creative Artworking; Annual Reports and Corporate Reporting documents; Packaging, both toys and food; Boardgame idea concept, design, artwork and gameplay; Corporate Identity and Style Guides; Brochures; Information & Editorial documents.

I have a very good working knowledge of major Western, Central, Baltic and Eastern European languages including Russian, Croatian, Czech, Greek, Turkish and an understanding of Arabic layouts.

I enjoy working in the areas of Corporate reporting including Annual Reports, Sustainability Reports, Corporate brochures and Seasonal Reviews; Large format graphics for Expo's and Events, Gymnasiums and in-store graphics for retail outlets; Branding, implementation and guidelines, marketing and detail aids for tablet devices; Packaging, artworking both external and internal elements with compliance to meet EU and UK safety and nutritional requirements.
