About me
I offer a confident, conscientious and enthusiastic approach to
design. I am committed to high design standards and creating a strong
visual presence.
Having worked for design agencies and design departments, both large
and small, I can demonstrate flexibility, experience and skill in
taking design briefs from initial concept through to completion,
working accurately with attention to both detail and deadline. I
maintain a hands-on/can do attitude, with the outlook to always
provide clients with the best results.
Logo generation, corporate literature and communications, brand
identity and literature, layout, typography and illustration are my
particular creative strengths, and as a self-styled 'brand
police-officer', my standards are exacting in the creation and
implementation of brand and brand consistency. Direct mail, sales
materials and catalogues, packaging, publishing and information and
exhibition graphics are also areas of expertise. Commissioning
photography, picture research and photo retouching, particularly within
the sectors of publishing and property, also form a large part of my
experience,
I currently work with Adobe CS4 software with a high level of
prowess in Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop and, as a print
specialist, I have extensive knowledge of print and production
processes.
In addition, my client-facing, interpersonal and organisational
skills are an excellent match for my technical and creative abilities.
I am a friendly and approachable person to work with, and I enjoy being
a team player - encouraging and enabling others to
reach realisation is as fulfilling as my own contribution.
