I am a proactive, reliable, motivated and a highly skilled creative professional, with a critical understanding of design and media. I have exceptional time management and organisational skills and work well under pressure, arising from completing deadlines and projects. My core skills are rooted in the formal elements of design and art. Composition and layout, colour theory, typography, visual communication, creativity and idea creation, concept development, print design, digital design, layout, sketching and drawing skills, rendering and form and problem solving.
My technical experience covers the many and varied graphics packages required in a creative environment. I currently use and am expert to highly proficient in: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe After effects, Cinema4D lite, Adobe Premiere, Adobe Indesign, QuarkXPRESS , Adobe Experience Design, Sketch, Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe Animate, Wordpress, Coral Painter, Autodesk Sketchbook pro, Autodesk Maya, and Zbrush. I have a competent understanding of HTML and CSS.
I have over nine years work experience as a creative in different roles from being a designer to freelance illustrator (marketing, publishing or entertainment). Over my career thus far I have worked on projects as either a graphic designer, an Illustrator or as a motion graphics designer and at times all three. One of my key skills has been the ability to shift between different styles and the wide breadth of my skillsets and media.

I liked the idea of incorporating 3D and 2D elements into motion design and have explored this kind of mix previously. Instinctively, I thought I'd like
- Rats not cat‘Play’ is an important aspect of the design process. I find that working on different iterations brings in new ideas. Starting with an open mind when working on a visual problem allows defining and framing of the problem in ways that could revolutionise the project. Which in turn allows for better solutions. I think that allowing designers to fully embrace the process with minimal interference will always give better results, it is the designer's responsibility to guide the project towards activ
