About me

In the past five years with Conran Design Group working for Procter & Gamble UK I have worked on virtually all of P&G's brand portfolio. This includes everything from washing powders and fabric conditioners, through to it's luxury skincare brand SKII and fragrances including, Boss, Dolce & Gabana, Dunhill and Gucci. The main focus of my work in the past 2 years has been designing the team initiatives that are a key feature of the internal marketing activity of P&G. This involves creating team building logos and graphics, displays, interior design, competitions and incentives, team away days. Information graphics illustrating the workings of P&G business. I have recently designed a complete Christmas packaging range for Wella/Sebastian and packaging concepts for Escada. I have built 3D models, made packaging samples, and produced many trade adverts, hand drawn concept visuals, attended off site briefings and sat in and visualized for P&G management. I believe this demonstrates that I have many and varied skills that are readily transferable across a wide area of graphic applications. Overall I would say my main skills are with 3D work, I trained initially as a Technical Illustrator and still love the challenge of this kind of work.
