About me

For the past four years I have been working as a commercial photographer during which time I have dealt with both small and large companies including Sainsbury's, producing from a range of product shots to PR work for newspapers. I have also had to deal with basic accounting and general administration such as letters, invoices and marketing. I have a sound knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, which I use on a daily basis for anything from retouching to key-wording of images. I have experience of using other software packages such as Quark Express, Adobe Illustrator and Pagemaker, as well as more conventional office packages. Archiving skills is one of my strong points. In producing the drawings at Scan, and taking thousands of images as a photographer, I have had to create systems that are easy to use by correctly numbering & key wording the drawings and images so they can be accessed quickly.

Prior to this I ran the Design and Promotions department of an effects lighting company, as well as producing CAD drawings for engineers to work from. I have also project managed venues from start to finish, in very pressurised situations and to tight deadlines. While here I used a wide variety of administration skills including dealing with issues raised by the client and dealing with them quickly and efficiently, producing documents, updating websites, and general diary management while also undertaking research roles into new projects.

I have extensive IT skills .
