About me
I have over 7 years experience as a highly creative graphic and web designer with a broad range of leading agencies and brands. My background in Graphic Design originates in traditional hand skills moving to high end digital imaging and eventually website design and management. My fundamental goal is to provide modern and innovative design for print, web and digital projects, to help organisations market their products, and individuals express themselves using online and offline solutions.
