About me
A freelance print and web designer with 10 years' experience working with a range of clients across a broad spectrum of industries. I am highly proficient using the Adobe Creative Suite, notably InDesign, Photoshop, XD, and Illustrator as well as many other tools including Elementor Pro, WordPress, WooCommerce, Premiere Pro, and Lightroom. A designer with an eye for clean, simple solutions to complex problems, I am always looking for new challenges which allow me the opportunity to research and learn new skills, and regularly undertake courses at General Assembly or through Codecademy to broaden my knowledge.
