About me

Design and Computer Skills

A Graphic Design Student, with 3 years prior experience in a Birmingham based design and print company.

Experienced in a number of relevant programs including Quark Xpress, In Design, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dream weaver, Flash and Maya. My previous employment has given me an indepth understanding of the design process in areas including art work, print, customer relations and the importance of team work and deadlines.

Amongst my achievements is an award for advertising work produced for the company PC Frames, the

designs were then used as part of a promotional campaign. Whilst attending college I completed an

apprenticeship at a copy and print company. This involved learning about all aspects of the company

including customer service, printing, digital copying and plotting machine work and invoicing clients.

Freelance work

Work carried out in my own time whilst attending University includes logos for the band When Bears Attack and Linaker Green Insurance brokers. Recent work has involved teaching a textile designer how to operate the programs Illustrator and Photoshop in order for her to increase her work output. In addition to this I have also completed two temporary freelance contracts that were taken on after completing my studies.
