About me

I am a strongly motivated independent individual,with fantastic organisational skills, a flexible attitude and the ability to remain calm under pressure. I have primarily worked in small boutique companies with less than 10 employees, which has given me a wide knowledge of how a company works and needs to function to be successful. Within this environment I have covered many roles, including Office Manager, Sales & Marketing and Head of Operations. I have managed and lead small teams to reach targets.

I became self-employed in 2009 to pursue my design and photographic skills. This has taught me independence; the art of negotiation, managing projects and expectations as well as the invaluable skill of self-assessment plus teaching me all the skills needed to successfully run and promote a business, with strong interpersonal skills and the ability make and keep strong contacts and relationships plus market my work successfully.

I have built up a client base of 14 individuals and companies covering roles of web design, graphic design, product photography, architectural photography and live music photography.
