About me

I have recently returned to England after spending nearly five years
in New Zealand and travelling for about six months. I am now looking
for a new challenge. I work hard and relish the opportunity to
'get my hands dirty'. I want to learn and develop
professionally and personally.

For seven years I have worked for two different companies as a
designer in the fast paced alcoholic beverage industry. The first role
initially based in England, offered me the opportunity to relocate to
New Zealand. Working in a small team, my principle role was to design
product and packaging for various international markets. My most recent
role involved successfully setting up and being responsible for the
design of product, packaging, point of sale and marketing support for
The Drinks Factory. I have worked on a number of well known brands, as
well as created new, exciting and successful products, identities,
advertising, brochures and promotional clothing, all of which involved
liaising with suppliers directly and being responsible for on-press
approvals.

I am a creative thinker who works well, accurately to tight deadlines.
I am proficient in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign as well as
other Creative Suit software on both Mac and PC. I am also well
acquainted in print procedures and techniques. I am part of
an industry that is fast-paced, colourful, constantly evolving and
inspiring. I am passionate about innovative design.
