About me

Within the past 5 years, I have worked at several design studios including: ModePR, a small independent company designing advertisements, TBWA Manchester - a large PR company who work with such clients as Manchester United, BP, and Michelin, and Simpson Direct - a company who designs and distributes inserts, mail outs, and other print based designs for International Lottery Guilds. I have advanced practical knowledge and I am no stranger to fixed deadlines, and pride myself on working closely with clients to make something which they are impressed it. I am well versed in the full Adobe CS6 package, including various other programs on Windows and Macintosh based operating systems including; Final Cut Pro, SignLab and Enroute. I have used such Adobe programs as; Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects Flash, Dreamweaver and Premier Pro. I am a hard working, self motivated individual, who enjoys helping people, and working as part of a team. I have a creative mind, willingness to work and the drive improve myself and I feel that I am the type of person who your company may be looking for.

Projects

• TransPennine Express - More for Less FirstIn order to promote leisure travel across the First Transpennine Express network, we needed to get people to re-think their default decision to jump in the car. Our campaign used the traditions and idiosyncrasies of the North to inspire people to do something different, encouraging them to change their scenery and explore the North of England and Scotland from the very best viewpoint there is – the train.
