About me

My Name is Jill Hunter and I am a Creative Graphic Designer/ Artworker living in Manchester.

My ambition is to grow within the design industry and have the opportunity to apply my creative skills into a more challenging role, where I can grow as a graphic designer as well as transferring my current skills.

For the past four years I have been working heavily in self initiated freelance graphics and artworking and I am currently employed as a Graphic and Digital Print operator at Service Point, Manchester; printing bid materials,architectural drawings, exhibition materials, small format print, graphic design and prepping artwork.

I graduated in Fd Graphic Design from Newcastle College June 2010, prior to my current role I have worked as a Creative fashion design assistant for Collectables Retail Ltd in Newcastle Upon Tyne and as a Graphic Designer for NE Music Factory.

As a passionate and versatile graphic designer/ artworker I demonstrate a more than competent ability with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign programs, delivering unique results, as I hope you will find in my work attached. In addition to this I have experience and knowledge working with Dreamweaver and iWeb to develop interactive web design.

Find attached my Curriculum Vitae and some recent works if you would like to see what I¹m all about.
