About me

You'll see below that I've designed for many different companies on a diverse range of projects. I can confidently say that I'm able to work independently or as part of a team. The majority of my work has been print based from internal newsletters to large scale advertising, more recently I have taken on digital design responsibilities such as web and social media banner design. I love to learn new business practices and design skills to enhance my knowledge. I am happy to work at the office or from home. Out of the office, I live in Brentwood with my husband and 2 children. At the weekend we enjoy family days out, cooking together and movie nights. I am in excellent health, hold UK driving license. I know basic first aid. I am happy work from home or hybrid.
