About me

I'm a bright, conscientious designer who loves to get involved. I have five years experience being employed as a graphic designer and have worked in areas such as publishing, advertising, marketing and events. I have experience taking projects from the initial brief through to the completion of print ready artwork, both independently and within a team. I'm used to working in a busy office so understand the importance of quick thinking and good timekeeping. I am confident using Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and Dreamweaver along with Office programmes such as Word, Powerpoint and Excel.

I also have an interest in web design and have taught myself CSS and HTML and have practised these through building a couple of websites. I read .Net magazine each month to find out about new trends and developments.
