About me

An experienced, self-motivated designer and creative artworker with over 20 years experience working across a variety of market sectors. Confident being involved in the whole process, I enjoy handling projects from initial client liaison and brief taking, and working from concept through to final print production while delivering work on time and within budget. My experience with clients and companies ranging from small charities to the hard-nosed prepaid telecoms industry, gives me an understanding of the challenges of intensive briefs, fast turnarounds and the ability to communicate effectively with people at all levels. I am personable, professional, and have first-rate Adobe Creative Suite skills, along with an excellent all-round skill set.
