About me

I am an experienced digital designer, a successful author and journalist, and an educator. I have wide-ranging experience and in-depth knowledge of the creative industries and a track record of successfully seeing projects through from conceptualisation to launch. I have worked for clients ranging from FTSE 100 companies to SME's and individuals and am a confident and effective verbal and written communicator at all levels.

I am equally capable working alone, or as part of a team, developing, managing, and delivering projects within deadlines and on budget. I am very much a 'hands on' person and prefer to be involved in all aspects of a project, from initial concept, through design and development to launch and beyond.

In addition to in-depth knowledge of Adobe CS, in particular Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, and Premiere, I have expert knowledge of open source CMS's including Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal and am conversant with MySQL and PHP. I have written numerous articles, tutorials and books covering digital design topics and am an Associate Lecturer at Falmouth University.
