About me

I have recently learned about a job opportunity for a graphic designer with you. I am a young, enthusiastic creative designer and feel I could be just who you need. Since graduating I have tried to immerse myself in many things that would set me apart from other young designers. This has included working for free alongside highly respected designers and traveling alone to strange and unfamiliar places.

My education has covered all aspects of visual communication through graphic design, photography, film, sound and new media and therefore my skills and interest in these areas are broad. I am seeking the opportunity to work as a graphic designer in a creative and exciting design team.

I graduated in Communication Design at the University of Portsmouth in 2005. Since graduation I worked primarily as a waiter, freelance designer and travelled alone in South East Asia. While travelling I feel I learned and developed important personal and interpersonal skills that will prove valuable in the work place. I have very recently worked with Dazed & Confused magazine in London where I gained extensive knowledge of how a professional studio operates and the level of quality and creativity required.

The nature of my degree course and the work that I have been undertaking since has meant that my communication and organisational skills have developed into valuable assets. I have developed competent computer skills in specific software listed on my CV I enjoy interacting with all types of people and have the ability to communicate on a level ground with them. I would love to start working in a job that allows me to channel my imagination and enthusiasm into many different design briefs, or creative projects, working alone or as part of a team. Through work experience and freelance projects I have gained good knowledge of how a professional design team works when dealing with new briefs, relationships with clients and printing.

Please take time to have a look through my CV. I would be happy to send you a .pdf portfolio on request.
