I'm a designer with a passion for problem solving and I love bringing ideas to life. I have more than ten years' experience of providing bespoke solutions to meet clients’ needs and I take each job as a new challenge.
My approach focuses on user-centered design. I work with clients to understand the key message that they are trying to convey, and to help them find the best way to illustrate it – whether through text or image, online or in print. In addition, I ensure that my suggested solutions balance the needs of both end-users and the business to deliver what's needed in the timeframe (and to the budget) required.
I'm currently on the look out for both permanent roles and freelance opportunities, so if you're interested in working together, please visit my website (rtlinnell.com) or drop me a message – I'd love to hear from you!
