About me

A highly skilled End to End Designer/Design Manager with a wealth of experience in overseeing design projects from conception through to delivery. Combining artistic talent and creativity with a mastery of design software to bring ideas to life across both digital and print. Working in both agency and in-house environments has taught me the value of working collaboratively while adapting to the changing demands of clients and stakeholders. I have extensive experience in both recieving briefs, reviewing and feeding back on designs and a slightly obsessive need for good time management. I pride myself on generating wide-ranging ideas and solutions for every project that I work on either within a team or individually.
