About me

My name is Les Copland, a graphic designer with 7 years of in-house and freelance experience. I have strong complimentary skills such as artworking, print management, product design, illustration, photography and project management. I'm lucky enough to do a job that I love, so enthusiasm and dedication are a given!

My experience spans working for global corporations such as Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Nigeria Airways through to start-ups and SME's. I have a hunger for knowledge and constantly strive to develop my abilities. My jobs and contracts have allowed me to work both in the UK and overseas. This experience has provided me with a cultural sensitivity, excellent communication skills and the ability to work comfortably as part of a team or on my own reporting to all levels of business.
I am currently looking for permanent positions in London and the surrounding area and can be available at one weeks notice.
