About me

I am a creative, passionate and highly productive graphic designer with over 12 years experience with a particular expertise in typography, layout and branding, for both print and digital media.

I have a proven ability of managing projects from inception through production to final delivery, ensuring that all work is delivered within agreed timescales. I possess a strong eye for design, and bring an intelligent and engaging response to project briefs with meticulous attention to detail in all stages of the design process - turning often complex problems into simple, strong, visual and written messages.

I am willing and able to work independently and as part of a team. I have excellent communication skills and a comprehensive knowledge of InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.
