About me
I have knowledge of and have been involved with planning, designing and writing copy brochures, pricing layouts,
flyers, logo creation, posters, newsletters, point of purchase displays, direct mail, exhibition stands, newspaper and
magazine advertisements, bespoke branding, website layouts e shot creation. Companies I have
worked with include Guinness, Bacardi Martini, Lookers and The NHS .
The majority of this work involved working with and maintaining corporate branding guidelines.
I have diverse experience from working within the manufacturing industry, the automotive industry, the
drinks industry, pubs and clubs, charity and community groups through to designing for the signage industry.
I am a highly creative person producing good quality, accurate designs and have practical knowledge
of preparing work for any type of print format from digital through to screen and litho.
I am experienced in Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Quark and Freehand as well as having attended
a web design course at The IT Foundry at Sheffield Hallam University learning Dreamweaver and
some HTML coding. I also have photography knowledge.
In previous roles I have actively created and managed photography and product archives.
I have experience of taking work from initial brief through to production. I am used to managing my own
time, working in a fast paced environment where speed, accuracy and working to deadlines are
essential. I am highly organised and always willing to learn new things and develop new skills. I enjoy
working within a team and I am used to working closely with colleagues, clients, suppliers and printers
and managing day to day work within a studio.
