About me

I am passionate about graphic design and strongly believe that visual communication can and should improve the way we live. I have over five years experience in the industry, having worked in both agency and in-house positions, mostly with a focus on print design. I'm currently seeking freelance opportunities and looking forward to the variety of challenges these may bring.

Skills

I'm a good all-round graphic designer, equally as happy working on creative concepts and sketches as I am on spending time on the details of typography. I have a strong understanding of every step of the design process, from initial client briefing through to preparing artwork for print. I'm confident communicating directly with clients and liaising with suppliers. I mainly work in print but am happy to create designs for the web and have a basic knowledge of html. I use photoshop, illustrator and indesign on a daily basis, and can also find my way around quark and flash.
