About me
With a strong family history in the creative and journalistic
industries, I originally wanted to go into journalism, but found a
love for art and design while studying at 6th Form in Ipswich. I
have always been a strong believer in backing up creative skill
with technical understanding to achieve maximum results in the creative process.
I possess advanced skills in most industry standard creative
programs, including; Quark Xpress, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe
Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Macromedia Freehand, Macromedia Studio MX (Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash).
I am also capable of designing databases using Filemaker Pro
and Dreamweaver MX/MySQL. In my current position, this was used to facilitate the design and deployment of a project
management and time logging system, which aided the company in increasing gross profit and monitoring project time and costs.
My skills also extend as far as DV video production, with
advanced knowledge of Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro. I am proficient in the use of both Apple Macs and PC platforms.
I am a fast learner and a hard worker, with a strong attention to detail. I am comfortable in pitching and client-facing environments and work well alongside account executives to respond to client requirements on time, and under budget constraints.
