Each brief is unique in its needs, whatever the creative process involves I can produce a variety of
solutions, from Typographic to unique comprehensive illustration or an intricate CGI piece, with
imagery supplied via photo or video shoot, art directed by myself, or a colleague. All this combining
with a fresh variety of contemporary graphic layouts and formats. Every brief is treated with the
same dedication to standard, substance, creativity and passion that always remains above
compromise.
I have throughout my career consciously pushed myself out of my comfort zones to enhance my
creative abilities. By actively developing and understanding various creative disciplines, not only to
understand each process but to be able to execute and apply them myself in what ever shape or
form the brief demands. I believe this attitude to my work has enabled me to put together a portfolio
of such diversity and crosses many disciplines, which I believe unites my folio, showing quality,
passion, vision, versatility and skill. My goal is to become a major asset to who ever I work for.

Hi
I have huge amount of progressive graphic design experience. I have held
Senior Creative and Lead positions for several major companies where I have
gained insightful design, leadership and proactive experience servicing and
styling international accounts and artists. I have a solid understanding of the
Design and Print/Packaging process, along with previous experience of
managing staff and 3rd party agencies including Events, Digital Media,
Photographers and Illustrators. I was recently responsible for the complete
re-brand of the multi-national music production company Audio Network.
