About me

I am a graphic designer with print design experience, which has

involved liaising with clients, printers, photographers and web

designers. Taking projects from brief through to print I have great

working knowledge of all Creative Suite programmes. With my previous

role, I also updated the website, and managed all the social media.

I am very personable, highly creative, get on well with others, and am

motivated to finish a job from start to finish, to the best of my

ability. My work ethic is excellent, with job satisfaction being key.

I believe enjoying your work, your work environment, and in a friendly

atmosphere - which really helps the working day.

My aptitude, conscientiousness, hard work and reliability all support

my traditional artistic and creative talents. Some further samples of

my work can be found here: *#!cv
