About me

An experienced traditional Graphic Designer with an eye for detail and the ability to proof-read under pressure. Hard working, reliable and resilient, with excellent organisational skills and flexible one-to-one approach. A computer 'liberated' professional, with excellent DTP skills that include Photoshop (ACA and ACE certificates), Illustrator, InDesign, DreamWeaver and Acrobat, as well as Quark Xpress and Enfocus PitStop Pro (Pre-flight software). Confident in using Microsoft (MS) Word, Excel and PowerPoint, I am Mac and PC literate.

My role is primarily to provide de novo covers, layouts and templates, bring page content to life, both in print and online. With many years of experience in managing multiple projects and delivering high-quality results on time and within a budget, I work well independently and as part of a team. My working relationships are built on my 'can do' attitude. Committed to my own personal development, I remain in touch with the latest software trends.
