Overview
I'm known for my excellent communication skills both in person and on paper. I pride myself on an approachable and friendly attitude to work. I always work to schedule and am used to meeting tight deadlines as well as working on larger projects which require a number of final assets over a period of time.
I have worked on a wide range of briefs with high profile clients from publishing to advertising and also with individuals and corporates/councils. Having also worked within the print industry for a number of years I understand just what is required to deliver print ready files and can also offer advice on stocks and finishes if required. I am also used to providing files for online use for a range of platforms.
I look forward to working on your brief with experience, enthusiasm and passion. You will mostly find me pen in hand (and cup of tea in the other) ready to sketch and doodle down ideas bringing your project to life.
