About me
A very experienced, enthusiastic retoucher and visualiser from a creative background with 10 years commercial experience working in advertising, publishing, experiential, and retail. Training in art, design and photography has led to a great sense of colour, space and style. Full of bright ideas with experience in busy design environments using industry standard software.
