About me

I have several years experience working within fast paced creative office environments, such as Newspapers, Advertising Agencies and Design Studios, and I have developed skills and qualities which have enabled me to become a valued team member with a professional attitude and attention to detail. I have experience in both the creative process and the all important technical side of Artworking, and during my employment history I have learned to utilise many software packages such as, In Design, Quark Xpress, Photoshop, Illustrator, 3D Studio Max and I am also both fluent on Mac And PC. In my last role as Graphic Designer at Desique Ltd, I gained experience in Product development, and Packaging Design for some very recognisable brands, susch as, Bob The Builder, Fireman Sam, Charlie & Lola, as well as having a more hands on role with clients and printers. I consider myself to be a hard working and diligent person who loves a challenge and enjoys working in a busy creative environment.
