About me
I offer:
-17 years of commercial graphic and digital design experience on Mac and PC using Adobe Creative suite, creating web and print-ready pdfs.
-12 years of HTML and CSS coding skills, designing HTML emails and web pages, with a good technical understanding of e-commerce and social media functions. I am learning After Effects at the moment and I have some basic Flash skills.
-Design for a wide range of media, including corporate styles, publishing, display and marketing.
-Ability to envisage new concepts and design layouts for web and print.
-In-depth understanding of printing and finishing processes.
-Sharp typographical skills, with experience of multi-language documents.
-Excellent customer account handling and supplier liaison skills.
Specialties: With a sound practical knowledge of the media I work in, I have a creative approach to giving the customer what they want. I also make a real commitment to keeping up to date with new software and developing my design skills. Many of the courses listed here I fitted in with full-time work by studying in the evening, on my holidays or part-time.
I also enjoy copywriting, proof-reading and poetry. People come to me when they either need help, the right words or "an idea". I'm usually happy to provide all three.
