About me
A highly motivated Senior Designer with many years of experience within the creative industry, working on projects for clients across a breadth of sectors. Well versed in directing print, website and identity design projects from concept through to execution, roll-out and delivery in line with briefs. I’ve got a genuine passion for coordinating teams of designers, keeping up-to-date with the latest creative movements and exhibiting a strong skill set to bring brand personalities to life. Over my creative career, I’ve built a broad skill set from each opportunity that’s presented itself. My dedicated outlook aligns with my goal to learn something new from every job I’m a part of, whether it’s a new software, an approach to managing a team, design outlook or even a keyboard hot-key that streamlines the way I work.
