About me

I believe that my skills and over 12 years' experience in the design industry both agency and in-house will serve you well. I am a creative, hard working and enthusiastic designer who takes the role seriously, both as an individual and as a team member.

My background and professional approach to business will provide your office with a highly productive graphic designer.

I have worked in a variety of roles and produced designs for some large companies, such as Thames Water, Tesco and BOC. I have also developed my skills, utilising programmes such as Quark, Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamwaver and Final Cut to produce interesting and exiting designs across all media, including websites, video editing, brochures, news letters, exhibitions and printed media.

Currently I am employed as a graphic designer and have been involved in a number of high profile projects. I am comfortable working as part of a team or individually and have an in-depth understanding of emerging technologies in new media.

In the mean time please take a look at my website and samples:
