About me

I am a creative and outgoing Art Editor/graphic designer currently working on a freelance basis in London. I am at present working for Cedar publishing on the Tesco Christmas gift guide and just recently worked on ‘Grand Design' magazine. I have gained a wide and varied experience within the publishing and marketing industry.
I have a proven ability to juggle the demands of a busy art department: from creating new visual ideas and taking them from concept to repro, to directing photo shoots and designing fresh, functional layouts as well as for instance with the two consecutive NME awards designing everything from tickets and all promotional material to the very large scale billboard posters, flyers etc. Having had a long and fruitful freelance career I feel it has rewarded me with the ability to be very adaptable as either a team member or rather efficient when under my own initiative and I relish new opportunities.

I am very proficient in all art based software InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator Quark etc, and have a large knowledge of computers generally

My CV and some samples of my work are attached to this email.
