About me

A versatile, creative and intelligent Designer with four years industry experience currently freelancing in and around the Brighton & Hove and London area. I specialise in design for print and web and have produced work of a high standard for a variety of clients.

My key strength is adapting to any style of work required whether it is for branding, advertising or web design. I'm adept at conceiving design concepts, developing ideas and interpreting feedback to achieve desired results and I'm confident about bringing a fresh perspective to every job I work on.

Freelancing has given me excellent project management skills and the ability to see out a project from the initial idea to the final artworking. I have a keen eye for detail and a capability to give equal importance to ideas and aesthetics. I take pride in my typographical and composition skills and have a great enthusiasm for digital illustration and photography. I also have essential skills in image manipulation and retouching and a consistency in making sure all my work is produced to a high standard.

I am now looking to build on my experience as a freelancer with an exciting and suitably challenging role. I am keen to achieve further professional development and put to work my skills in print design, web design, illustration and photography.
