About me

I'm currently DTP Manager at TOD Printers, with 4 people under me. I have six years experience in Graphic Design, DTP, Layout, Retouching and Repro work. I'm completely familiar with Mac Platform & print production, this includes experience in product design, operational admin, communicating with clients & project management. I have knowledge of Freehand MX, Photoshop 8 & CorelDraw11 and basic skills in QuarkXpress and work with a variety of clients on a daily basis. I've been working at TOD Printers for the past four years, during which there was a period of 5 months in which I ran the whole Graphic Design department, doing all the work on my own. This is an example of my capability functioning extremely well under pressure and working long hours (± 60 hour weeks). In fact, some of my best work was produced during this 5 month period. I'm also an avid photographer and was one of the 50 finalists in the Worldwide Amateur Photography Competition this year. I've been working as a part time photographer for the past year, taking photos at weddings, corporate functions & special events.I've been working with clients since the age of 16, when I started waitressing during weekends and holidays. I see myself as a hard worker, an incredible fast learner and see learning new things as a challenge. I'm therefore willing to take any extra courses if needed to ensure a new job.
