About me

I would like to apply for the post of

I have been working for Ragdoll Productions in Warwickshire, although I live in Countesthorpe, Leicestershire.

While at Ragdoll I was responsible for the in house design studio of the BAFTA award winning children's TV production company Ragdoll for the past 16 years. I have a broad range of skills and experience.

I work with Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Photoshop, Illustrator and In-design/Quark on mac producing digital artwork for print and publicity for TV shows such as Teletubbies and In the Night Garden. This involves photo-shoots, digital manipulation, retouching, line illustration and logos and preparing artwork for print.

My current role consists of taking a concept through from start to finish, working for all departments within in the company, from the Director pitching a new programme to the BBC, a simple sign needed in the retail department, right through to the design and production of the shows style guides.

Prior to this I worked as a Freelance Illustrator for 13 years and also taught illustration to degree level at West Notts Collage and Sheffield University.

I am an excellent all round artworker/designer who has exceptional traditional drawing skills and outstanding technical skills when using computers and design applications. I'm open to constructive criticism, new ideas and opinions, working up designs and re-designing as necessary. I have a keen eye for type, colour and detail with a methodical and organised approach to work, good communication and interpersonal skills and an enthusiastic and helpful nature.
