About me

My 5-year industry experience covers seeing projects through from problem to solution; creating whole brands from scratch; working within existing brand guidelines; working with CMS systems; and preparing work for print. I have proven my capabilities in adhering to deadlines while remaining on brief and more recently assisting with promotion, events and marketing. I am efficient at integrating with each new team I work with and am proud of the high percentage rate of return business I have generated. I am passionate about both web & print design and am keen to learn new things to further my skills in these areas. I have a keen understanding of typography, creative artworking, creative photography and illustration. I have a good understanding of e-learning and website design. I am a vibrant and friendly person with a variety of different skills that I have gathered across my career. I can motivate people and lead people towards a vision as well as roll my sleeves up and get things done. I am an excellent communicator and listener, with the ability to understand people’s needs as well as offering advice and ideas where relevant.
