About me

Please see attached my cv for your consideration. I'm looking for work based in the Greater Manchester area. You will see that I've traveled around a fair bit and I have experience in many areas of graphic design and production. I have a background in magazine and newspaper layouts but have also gained a lot of experience in artworking and printing environments.

As an artworker I would create clean and accurate artwork for printers on a daily basis, solving problems everyday to make the pre-press production process go as smooth as possible keeping expensive errors to a bare minimum. For this I had to be highly organised and a stickler for detail! I would sometimes finish the artwork by hand, trimming and stapling the artwork ready to be delivered to the customer.

My most recent role based at a children's charity consists of being a brand guardian, creating fresh designs within strict guidelines. I am responsible for creating adverts, posters, banners and flyers that are engaging to the community at large that needs them to advertise events and services across the North West. This has given me a real sense of purpose in my work which I have enjoyed.

My job based in Vancouver, Canada, was based in a retail setting creating artwork for walk-in and corporate customers. A lot of this work was directly linked to t-shirts printing and garment customization such as uniforms for teams, t-shirts, jackets with embroidered logos on etc. On a daily basis I would re-draw and create logos for customers whose artwork wasn't up to scratch, then make it ready to be printed or embroidered onto the garment. I would also create mock-ups for the customer so they could visualize the finished product. This environment was extremely fast-paced and time management was vital. I'm lucky to have had the chance to fine tune these skills. I would frequently deal with the customer directly and enjoyed seeing projects through from start to finish.

I'm a friendly person and love being in a team but I can work alone and enjoy the chase to deadline. I hope that's enough information for now and I hope to hear from you soon.

Many thanks,

Kerry
