About me

After completing a degree in Architecture, I am looking for a change in direction with regards to a career, but wish to remain within the creative industry. I have strong layout skills, experience with most Adobe packages including InDesign and Photoshop, a good knowledge of composition, skills in hand drawing and illustration. I have experience in life drawing, and anatomical study. I also have an aptitude for most physical mediums, with the ability to combine these sympathetically with computer work. I won the award for best hand drawn combined with computer 3D representation for my third year portfolio at university. I have great time management skills and I am experienced in working to important deadlines, learned from my university course requirements. I am also keen to develop skills and gain further experience in media, retail, graphic design, and illustration, as I have a strong and refined personal style, and a flair for all things creative. I am articulate, committed, have a great imagination and relish a challenge.
