About me
I am a graphic designer, specialising in print based media, page layout and typesetting. I am also proficient across digital design and have brief experience with illustration work. I am highly competent across both the adobe creative cloud and microsoft office suites, and I remain eager to expand my ability across other types of software inlcuding 3D modelling and CAD. I also have experience within using a graphic drawing tablet, which has helped me to improve my work flow and creative process. Across my design experience I have excelled in both creating independently and tackling a problem as part of a team.
