About me
My work is bold, memorable, thoughtful, effective, appropriate and that stimulates creative dialogue - so I am now seeking the right company that will further develop my abilities, and one that I can contribute to skill wise, but also personality wise.
Over the years I have been fortunate enough to have been exposed to many different industries, from many countries, requiring many different ways of working with a variety of clients, all requiring different skill sets and disciplines, leading to winning awards and nominations.
My recent projects have involved leading creative; concept and ideation, development, presentation, research, prototyping, paper engineering and final artworks across all works. My industry background has been in branding, collateral, packaging, online and advertising projects and that experience I bring to all my projects.
My career has not only been fun - and continues to be - but it has given me the confidence to challenge any brief and return strong, graphical and marketable solutions that have not only delighted clients but also achieved what the client required, and in most cases exceeded their expectations. How do I know this, because they keep asking me to come back and do more.
My passion is design, creation, innovation and being attentive to a client's needs and ideas - ultimately I consider myself a craftsmen and strive to deliver well crafted design solutions. I thrive on creative challenges, and enjoy getting my hands dirty in all aspects of a project.
Historically, I have led from the front, run creative teams, been involved with new business, mentored young designers and been involved with recruitment. The industry doesn't stand still, and is constantly evolving, therefore adaptability to new software and challenges are part of a creative's remit.
Software knowledge: Adobe CS - Advanced in InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dimension; full working knowledge of XD and Premier Pro. Good working knowledge of MS Powerpoint, Word and Excel; and Apples Numbers and Pages. Have some experience with the 3D software Blender.
I am keen to continue to deliver visually pleasing, functional and result driven creative solutions and contribute to the success of a company, whilst growing personally within the creative environment.
