About me

I think that I would be suited to the role of a Creative Artworker/ Graphic Artist/ Retoucher, as I have been steadily gaining experience in the Graphics and Media field. Furthermore, last year I completed a three-year degree course in BA (Hons) Film Studies with Photographic and Digital Media at Anglia Polytechnic University graduating with a high 2.1.

I was selected by my course leader at APU out of the entire student body to work as an intern for three months on the Cambridge Film Festival in 2003, working closely with the festival directors for whom I undertook a broad range of duties in a busy and pressurised environment. My major role was graphic artist and photographic assistant for the daily festival posters, flyers, newspaper and web site. As a result of this, I also acted as a Runner for City Screen at the Cannes Film Festival (2003) performing a mixture of menial and organisational tasks. This was both a challenging undertaking and a large responsibility, as the festival premiered 80 international and national films as well as over 100 non-premieres. I have also acted as a freelance Production Assistant, Graphic Artist and office Administrator for Bitch Productions who mainly specialise in the creation of low budget commercials and corporate videos. I was involved with a few of these productions, which were both challenging and exciting. I have also worked for 3 Graphic Design companies for the last 7 years as an overflow Print Finisher and Repro assistant. I have also worked as a receptionist at a recording studio whose main client base consists of Cartoon Network, MTV and BBC to name a few. I was in the position for five months in order to hone my administrative skills and am now ready to move into a more creative and challenging role.

Recently I have been working as a freelance Graphic Artist for a Swimwear company called Seaspray UK Ltd and working on Graphic Artwork for a local band. I feel that these experiences have and are providing me with an increasing knowledge of graphic design and general office practice.
