About me

For the past thirteen years I have gained solid design management experience from a number of large city companies, as well as creating and running a Design Studio for Signet PLC. As their Design Manager I maintained and improved their studio facilities, provided the team with leadership and maximised objectives to help develop the teams skill sets, to eleven creative employees as well as developing and controlling their corporate guidelines. On a day-to-day basis I would direct photographers, printers, outside agencies and the design teams. Also monitoring the daily workflow to ensure work adhered to very tight deadlines.

I am highly knowledgeable with all design software and network systems for both the Mac and PC. I take great personnel interest in photography, print technology and Internet applications. I have recently been awarded 'The Best Designed Retail Space for 2006' by Horticulture Week for one of my Clients, Tendercare Nurseries. also twice winner 'Best Exhibition 2005 & 2006' for The Orchid Exhibition at The Royal Botanic Gardens Kew.
