About me

I have many years experience in the design, web and publishing industry and pride myself in all aspects of this profession and am always keen to learn new processes to develop my skills. I also have the initiative to work independently or as part of a team offering constructive input, ideas and solutions. I am accustomed to working to strict deadlines and capable of working efficiently in a high pressure environment. I have developed a professional and competent attitude in providing the best level of creative expertise to my highest ability. I have also discovered that teamwork, communication and careful planning have played a vital part in my employment background and I have always challenged any task with enthusiasm and innovation.
