About me
I am an experienced Graphic Designer having worked both in-house for agencies and as a freelancer over the last few years.
Branding and corporate identities are one of my specialist areas, yet I can also offer the same level of skills for most printed material, from banners to stationery, or brochures to reports and accounts.
In recent years I have had an imense amount of experience within the paper industry, and am therefore well versed in today's environmental requirements regarding types of paper, paper pulp and raw material sources. This includes a full working knowledge of the requirements of both the FSC and PEFC - if you have a requirement for such products, it is essential that the correct chain of custody procedures are followed, in order to ensure that the final printed product can bear the certification panels of either organisation.
I am also able to prepare and edit bespoke Powerpoint presentations, ensuring that each slide is neither too fussy nor overloaded with information. Each slide would normally be limited to a maximum of seven bullet points, preferrably less, and any copy edited to provide salient sound bites. Imagery can be generated or sourced depending upon the client's requirments.
