About me

I have built up over twenty years of experience working in graphics in publishing, including at management level, working on consumer and business to business magazines, as well as in marketing, events and branding. I'm skilled in the Adobe Creative Suite and have recently been studying web design (HTML and CSS) at City Lit University.

As an in-house and freelance designer I developed a diverse range of skills, including: editorial and promotional design; developing concepts; art direction of photographers, illustrators and web technicians; the ability to work on several projects at once and see them through to completion; good relationships with all levels of management, and acting as a motivated, team playing self-starter - such as art directing junior design staff.
