About me

I have over 20 years experience in both print and digital - not just on the creative side, but also dealing directly with clients and suppliers, ensuring jobs run smoothly and meet key deadlines within budget. I am used to both running teams and being part of a team. I can manage several projects concurrently (from briefing to delivery), typically varying in size from £1k - 50k. Clients trust and expect me to take on a project and see it through to successful completion. I'm good at client relations - over 90% of my clients rehire me.

I always try dig behind a brief, to discover what need drove the client to develop the brief and see if there might be a more effective solution. I'm pragmatic - preferring to do what is needed to solve the problem effectively for the client rather than produce a piece that might enhance my portfolio.

My technical skills include expertise with all the usual software - Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, QuarkXpress and I can code html and css to W3 standards.
