About me

Graphic Designer for Fashion with a First Class Honours Degree in Fashion from Leeds College of Art. I am able to work effectively on my own but also enjoy working in a team environment. I am able to complete tasks to a high level within a specified time scale, whether this is alone or part of a group. When working within a group I have the ability to assess a task and take the lead (voicing my opinions where necessary), whilst working effectively when being lead. I am also willing to give other members of the team help, to make their job easier.

I am very organised and have very good time management skills, I am able to plan and manage myself and others effectively. I can manage a team of people and help to plan and organise events. I Project managed the Graduate Fashion Show for Leeds College of Art 2011, the show received many accolades and was well featured in the press and on blogs. I have excellent creative suite skills - Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator and have a working knowledge of how HTML is used within web and email design.

I am able to work both creatively and professionally and communicate with others to produce the best outcome.
