About me

I am a multi-disciplined, design-led commercial Web and Graphic designer with over 25 years' experience within the design sector. Currently working as a freelancer; I enjoy the freedom I have to undertake varied projects. Following significant early career history with a major publisher, I have retrained to use my visual flair and passion for tech in web & email design work. Using my skills with image manipulation, I am able to produce web-based and printed applications in a variety of media and can create designs for web sites, mobile phones/tables, and print presentations.

An innovative professional able to offer a mix of solutions including traditional and on-trend, challenging options. I work hard to achieve or exceed targets and objectives while maintaining focus, energy and effort when under pressure.
