About me

I have experience in both office and design studio environments, which has gained me strong technical and interpersonal skills as well as an understanding of design principles, various printing procedures and software packages. I currently manage the budget for the media department and am involved in the equipment and materials purchasing decisions, as well as the outsourcing of services.

I have 8 years experience using Quark XPress and Adobe software, including all the current Adobe Creative Suite packages, and all the Macromedia packages including Flash and Dreamweaver. My skills also include hand-coding in HTML, XHTML, CSS, PHP and ActionScript. I also edit video in Final Cut Pro and use audio software for preparing short films and audio streams for publishing on the web or other media.

In my current role I design all the organisations promotional items (leaflets, annual reports, merchandise) and company websites, including promotional mini-sites and sites for students to showcase their own work. I also design, edit and create promotional videos and DVDs for students and for the organisation.
