About me

Dear Creative Pool

Plesae note that I am an experienced retoucher. I am very keen, flexible and hard working. I am more than willing to do what it takes.

I have been working permanently since completing my A levels for the Wyndeham group, a leading UK wide commercial marketing company. I have worked on a number of blue chip client projects and have responsibility for the production and final modifications of famous brands that for example include Pepsi, Tesco, Harrods, Tango, BBC Magazines, Harrods and Debenhams fashion.

I am fully Mac conversant with extensive experience in PhotoShop. I pay particular attention to specific detail and specialise in re-touch, crop and the uploading of digital images. I am particularly familiar with the organisation and maintenance of filing complex digital assets.

I consistently work alongside digital photographic images and rigorously perform strict quality control assurance. I regularly crop digital photographic images, maintain file sizes to the required specification guidelines and value creative direction and approvals from my Art Director.

In my current position I work closely alongside major corporate clients such as Tesco, Pepsi, Harrods, Debenhams and BBC Media. I listen in well, am a quick thinker and can easily understand the design briefings in order to achieve the best service and finished product.

At Coopers Coburn school I reached the final in the "Baron Burns" public speaking competition that required both good communication skills and the ability to be clearly understood by a variety of teachers and students. At school I was awarded the position of "House Captain" due to my tact and diplomacy in handling a wide audience of individuals. I would like to think that this would help provide a good friendly base that could, if required, help out in team work situations. I hope you will find that I am versatile and able to mix in well amongst all individuals.

In my current position at Wyndeham Kestrel I work alongside and support a strong team undertaking both group and team leader decisions to effectively deliver high quality work to tight deadlines. I work in an industry where product design, artwork and retouch is required "yesterday" so I am particularly used to working long hours, if required, in order to meet product launch deadlines.

In one day I can have several projects running simultaneously which often requires me to multi task. I am able therefore to effectively manage workloads with flexibility and change as demand may warrant it.

I am computer literate with a full understanding of Word and Excel as well as a number of other software packages that include PhotoShop.

I am enthusiastic and always willing to learn any new skills that would help benefit your work environment.
