About me

As you can see from my attached CV, I am currently employed as Design Manager at Artwork Creative in Malvern, Worcestershire but am currently looking to re-locate to a position closer to home.

My current role involves overseeing the design, creation and production of all print artwork for the company, including liaison with clients and service providers, as well as art direction for website design. Although a primarily print oriented designer I do have experience in the design and production of material for web usage, and though I may have no coding experience I would be more than willing to learn new skills if necessary.

A passion for design in all forms, in particular typography, colour and print techniques, along with good image manipulation and layout skills, the ability to consistently design for a wide range of marketing collateral within brand guidelines, a good working knowledge of the possibilities and limitations of print, and, as the person responsible for the delivery of on-brief, on-brand and, most importantly, on time final product, good organisational skills.

I feel that the above attributes, along with my many years of experience as a Designer with various companies not only of working to brand guidelines but also of developing them to their fullest potential, stand me in good stead for the role advertised, and I look forward to hearing from you and having the opportunity to talk about the role further.

Very best regards,

Simon Bates
