About me
My career spans editorial and design roles. When editing, I consider how the words fit the design; when designing, I'm aware of the written content. These crossover skills give me insight into the bigger picture and the end goal of engaging the target audience. I have successfully delivered solutions in various settings including:
Award-winning creative agency Dewe Rogerson (Citigate);
The Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service;
The Health and Safety Executive;
Cavendish Nuclear.
Specific skills include:
- Working within brand guidelines and house style.
- Collaborating with designers, copywriters, account managers, art directors, bid authors, clients and suppliers to ensure satisfactory outcomes.
- Scheduling, budgets, press-pass, sign-off and post-production evaluation, ensuring consistent quality in print and online.
- Simplifying language for better understanding by users. I thrive on creating clear, logical and easy-to-follow language for a wide range of audiences.
