About me

Hi,

My name is Jerome and i am a freelance graphic and web designer based in London.

I specialise in branding, print media, copywriting and websites. I hold a Masters degree in Multimedia Design and have been freelancing for over a year now.

I became interested in working within the digital marketing industry when I successfully carried out my first project, realising the depth and potential of combining new media tools such as virtual worlds or mobile platforms with design.

Through such a combination of media, I believe the design industry to be boundless. I am eager to share my creative ideas and approach in trying out new technologies.

I have just completed a three months internship as a web/graphic designer and SEO specialist, giving me a deep insight of the media industry. My responsibilities involved the creation of new websites and carry on with their marketing through social network management and search engine optimisation. I was in charge of keeping design consistent through logos, banners, webpages and advertising.

In addition to my Master's degree, I also hold a Bachelor in Computer Science. I am therefore confident with my computer skills on any system (both Mac and Windows). I favour working with Adobe Creative Suite programs, especially Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Dreamweaver, as well as MS Office Suit.

I believe that my mix training in both design and IT would bring a noteworthy addition to a working team. In fact through one of my final projects at university my team and I earned the faculty's best project award for outstanding teamwork. On top of that I am bilingual French/English and fairs well in a diverse and multicultural environment.

Here is a link to my online portfolio where you will be able to see some of my projects, work samples, and my résumé.

Yours sincerely,

Jerome Richer De Forges.
