About me

I'm a Graphic Designer located in London, UK. I obtained my three year advanced diploma from Fanshawe College's Graphic Design program in London, Ontario, Canada. After graduating in 2012, I moved to Vancouver, British Columbia where I began my career as a Graphic Designer. I'm well versed in most aspects of artworking and print production design (Pantone/CMYK work flows, preparing and preflighting files for print, and vectorizing of client artwork.) I also have experience in product photography and image editing (photo retouching, colour correcting, cropping, resizing, and preparing images for print and/or web use.) I relocated to London, UK in June 2018 and have been employed in the small format printing industry since my arrival. I hold dual Irish and Canadian citizenship status and am able to reside and work in Canada, the UK, and the EU without restrictions. Adobe Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop are the programs that I have the most experience with. I also have a working knowledge of HTML/CSS coding for web. That being said, I am always looking for new ways to expand my skill set. Some of my personal interests include sustainable fashion, vintage clothing, animal rights and spending time in nature. I spend most of my spare time reading, taking care of my 100 or so house plants, and cross stitching. I also enjoy exploring the many museums, libraries, gardens, and other sights that the lovely city of London has to offer.
