About me

I have over 23 years of experience delivering Global toolkits for P&G brands like Gillette, Duracell, and Braun. Leading executions ranging from 60m OOH right down to in-store POS material. I've learned new skills and updated my skill-set through the years in the industry to stay abreast of the latest developments. I have high-level knowledge of all the Adobe CC main packages, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Acrobat and my retouching is to a high-level.

My print and repro knowledge is excellent, having worked as a print manager, a reprographics co-ordinator and production manager at previous jobs. At Dialogue Marketing, I was also responsible for maintaining servers as well as fixing any Mac and PC problems. I also doubled up as a Studio Manager in his absence. My specialty is packaging and POS, however, my experience covers the whole gamut of print and digital production.

My artworking skills are exceptional, and I take great pride in my work - my attention to detail is second-to-none and I place a high emphasis on typography; abhorring double spaces, double carriage returns, non-uniform leading, hyphenation and justification violations - i.e. rivers of space running through justified text blocks, widows, orphans, poor kerning/tracking/leading/ with clashing ascenders and descenders amongst other things.

My strengths lie in troubleshooting and my technical ability. I have always heralded print, when talking to designers, creatives and account management, educating them, and equipping them with the technical know-how to be more insightful with their dealing with clients, suppliers, and artworkers.
