About me

I am a senior Creative Manager/Designer/Art Director with 25+ years' experience of managing (mostly in-house) Creative & Production studios in TTL advertising, Branding, Direct Mail, B2B, B2C, Corpcoms, Marcoms, Exhibitions/Events and General Design. I am client-facing, an effective presenter and possess a successful track record in pitching for new business. I forge good relationships with other Creatives and can assist on a hands-on basis at any time as I am a long-term power user of the primary software packages (InDesign, Quark Xpress, Illustrator, Photoshop (CS3), Acrobat, OpenOffice) and many others which gives me additional understanding of all aspects of production, from the initial Creative process, right through to the final article on both the Macintosh(OS-X) and PC(XP) platforms.

My print experience is equally as extensive, including a thorough working knowledge of modern Computer-to-Plate processes, Digital and Offset Litho, Special/bespoke print processes, PDF technologies and extra qualifications in colour theory and 6 colour litho press operation. This also extends to comprehensive Print negotiation and procurement.
