I am a skilful, highly accomplished and experienced all round visual designer with an eye for typography, engaging imagery and overall art direction.
Taking a multi-platform approach and using the latest tools available, I have successfully worked with marketing, content, sales and product teams on a number of global and UK brands.
Engaging with major stakeholders within several organisations around the world has enabled me to become an excellent creative problem solver and collaborator with strong communication skills. I have an enthusiastic, dedicated approach to my work and I am resourceful, well organised and a great project and team leader.
Over the past 30 years I have been fortunate to work with many talented people on a variety of interesting and challenging projects and I would love to use my experience, skill and knowledge to support your in-house team or take sole responsibility for creative output.
