About me

An enthusiastic, friendly Creative who has 6 years Industry experience in Graphic Design, University Degree educated and who always enjoys a new creative challenge.

I am no stranger from taking an idea from it's initial conception right the way through to the final design, whether this may be a brochure, poster, logo, website, mailer, or large format pop up banners. I do work well within a team especially creative brainstorming sessions, but equally I'm very capable of using my own initiative to create dynamic artwork.

In my current role as a Creative Media Producer at One2create, I have experience in designing and getting artwork ready for print quality, and adhering to Clients brand guidelines. Other responsibilities include; print design; flyers, business cards, posters, large format roll up banners, designing a range of business websites, e-mailers, product sheets, logo branding, illustrations and creating online animations/motion graphics.

On a daily basis I work on multiple projects and liaise with various Clients in order to achieve the desired result that they want.

I am well trained in Adobe Creative Suite 5 (CS5) including:

InDesign

Photoshop

Illustrator

Fireworks

After Effects

Flash

My previous role as a Graphic Designer at Fareham College I was directly responsible for creating the College's Prospectus and also designing other important promotional marketing materials, e.g. posters promoting college internal events, adverts, pop up banners, and creating smaller magazines/leaflets.

Thank you for your consideration.
