About me

I am a independent hands-on Studio Manager with over 15 years experience. Whether its trafficking work through an agency, or working on creative themes and powerpoint presentations I can easily adapt to any given brief giving clients a professional service.

I have worked in commercial and pharmaceutical advertising. Producing anything from Rimmel Ads, Renault brochures to Scientific posters and powerpoint presentations. My offering is quite varied working on small scale leaflets to large scale exhibition stands.

I am process driven, making sure that the creative department is given all of the correct information to ensure projects run as smooth as possible. I liaise with all external suppliers including digital and print to make sure that on every occasion the best possible solution is reached for a specific piece of work. Producing estimates and timelines are key to the successful delivery of any project and ensure that projects are delivered on budget and on time. I am an extremely organized individual who thrives under pressure making sure I am able to think on my feet. I am also a dedicated team player who makes sure that the teams around her are happy at all times. Good communication is paramount and I make it my business to make sure everyone is kept in the loop at all times.

Fluent in all CS packages, I can fully take on any brief and produce designs and artwork to a high standard. I can easily adapt to different positions and to any situation, whether it be in an office environment or working at home.
