About me

For over five years I have been working in the greeting card industry, two years at UK Cards as a Mac operator and then over three years working at Hallmark Cards as a mac designer.

I know both the mac designer and operator roles very well and I have been utilising Photoshop and Illustrator on a day to day basis over all my working experience. It is fair to say that I am very comfortable with the software I use and I always enjoy learning new software.

During my two years at UK Cards I was using Quark and Freehand daily and I do not believe I would struggle to pick these packages back up again.

In my spare time I like to build up my web skills. Although I do not have any previous commercial experience in web design, I have several sites that I have built to a good standard.

I am looking for a role that involves using my experience in Photoshop and Illustrator, aswell as building upon skills that I have built up in my own time such as web design.

When I am not at work or building my web skills I manage and drum in a gigging band.
