About me

I'm a highly accomplished, skilled and productive senior creative artworker/studio manager, responsible for overseeing all artwork and production of a busy design agency, working on a varied range of print and digital projects for clients including Argos, Serco, Cadbury's, Mencap, Enrst & Young, Lombard, Nat West, Royal Mail and the Post Office.

I have excellent all-round artworking expertise, with retouching and layout skills being my forte. I know all design applications inside out and provide technical support and troubleshooting to the studio.

I manage multiple small and large projects concurrently, and have vast experience in managing the production of large, often multi-language print runs.

In addition to artwork duties I traffic workflow, draw up weekly schedules and supervise my team, hold production meetings, source studio supplies, maintain a database of photographers, freelancers, printers, couriers and look after the daily running of the studio.

I have a positive attitude at all times, remain calm in the face of stress and I'm always happy to help my colleagues.
