I’m a London-based Senior Creative Artworker with over 16 years’ experience of in-house roles and in creative/production agency environments. Working across both print and digital I’ve worked with all manner of clients; from independent start-ups through to brands that operate on a global scale.
A majority of my roles have been production-focused. I am, however, creatively-minded and have skills within design. The ability to cross-pollinate Creative with technical production processes means I have been invaluable in teams/agencies where crossover between departments has been key to achieving the optimum results for deliverables.
I’m currently the Senior Creative Artworker in an integrated studio at TMW Unlimited’s Soho-based office. I play a key role within the agency, dividing my time between briefing/consultations; project planning; production; and mentoring midweight and junior members of the team. I’m responsible for the Final-Release of all finalised artwork from Studio ensuring that all deliverables are on-brand and achieving/matching the technical
specifications required for every (bespoke) project. From template creation through to assisting with art direction, my ever-growing skill-base is matched only by enthusiasm for design, communication and water-tight production and process.A thoughtful creative who truly cares about their work. I’m always eager to take on new challenges in order to progress my career and am currently seeking an opportunity in a new creative environment.
