About me

I have gained excellent, relevant experience from both freelancing and in my current role as the sole in-house designer for OD Imaging; a wide format print company, specialising in POS. My MA, BA and DMP qualifications have each enhanced my understanding of design and communications, whilst providing me with the necessary groundwork to succeed in my first role in full time employment. I have built a sound knowledge base and am ready to be further challenged, through applying and demonstrating the skills and experience I have acquired. I am eager to expand my industry knowledge and immerse myself in a driven and high-pressured environment.
