About me

Experienced Mac operator with a reprographic background, specialising in Press, DM, Magazine, Brochure and PoS advertisements. Proficient in Quark and Adobe CS especially InDesign, with a strong working knowledge of both Illustrator and Photoshop.

A keen worker, with an eye for creative detail, I am always looking to advance my technical awareness, particularly in the web media sector. I enjoy having responsibility and am able to liaise with creatives, account handlers and clients confidently and produce work of the highest quality, possessing the ability and patience to work under pressure in a busy office environment meeting newspaper and advertising deadlines.

Employed at some of the country's top studios and agencies in London, Surrey, Hampshire and the Home Counties since 1998 in either full-time or freelance capacities. Examples from my portfolio can be supplied electronically on request and a more in-depth hard-copy version can be produced should you wish to meet at an interview stage.
