About me
From school I sought a career to develop my creative
talents within the graphics industry, and started as a

Middleweight Graphic Artist where I remained for four
years, gaining solid all-round experience of the
administration and a extending his knowledge of prepress
and print.

systems and network trouble shooting, he also oversaw
any typography, scanning, image manipulation and
graphics creation in the department. Creation of large
format, digital, screen and traditional print planning
from concept to final print was a major part of the job
and he soon progressed to production manager,
designing and introducing a basic system for such a
purpose using Filemaker Ð highlighting his thorough
knowledge of all aspects in a production environment.

skilled within design, DTP, IT and management fields.
