I am a London based freelance graphic designer with a broad range of experience across various graphic design disciplines.
The majority of my experience has been print based design for magazines, partworks, books and marketing materials such as catalogues, leaflets, brochures and order forms. Along with packaging design for CDs, DVDs, vinyl albums and product containers for point of sale design.
I also have knowledge of HTML, CSS and content management systems such as Wordpress from designing and hand coding websites.
As a well as being a freelance graphic designer for the past 5 years I have also been the owner/director of an online clothing company, Hallow Collective. This has meant that time and project management have been extremely important as I need to be capable of coordinating a number of different projects at the same time, dealing with any unexpected scheduling changes quickly and efficiently.
