About me

Available Mon-Fri between 9am - 5pm (UK GMT) Passionate about the creative arts, I like to gain knowledge in as many differing areas as possible. I believe all experience is good experience. Having a wide breadth of knowledge allows me to be easily adaptable to any project or challenge. I started out in retail; mainly focused on windows & displays. Using this experience, I help clients kickstart their look in a consistent & marketable fashion from a consumer point of view. My current work focus is on design & management of visual branding for clients. Previous experience also includes; styling/managing photoshoots, seasonal catalogues, magazine adverts, trade stands, licensed products & packaging, social media marketing, gifs/banners, UI design, manipulation/ retouching model/product photography, company stationary, logos & brochures. My current passion is for video editing & motion graphics, which i’m currently studying. I am reliable, easily adaptable, organised, methodical, creative, hard-working & a fast learner. PROGRAMS USED Photoshop CC, InDesign CC, Illustrator CC, WordPress, Microsoft Office/Windows (Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint), intermediate knowledge in After Effects CC, Premiere CC, Klaviyo, Canva & Figma.
