Personal Profile:
I've spent the last three years in a professional studio environment,
this has improved the way I work and communicate with colleagues
and clients. It has taught me the importance of critical analysis
and the free expression of opinions. I'm very passionate about design
and the creative process. I cope with tight deadlines and have developed
a clean and simple style, however I can still adapt it according
to the requirements of any given brief.
Experience:
During my years of employment and freelance work I've tackled a
range of projects with different levels of involvement. Some I've
just art-worked for print, while on others I took all of the way
through from conception to completion. Past projects have included:
corporate ID, stationary, web sites, leaflets, brochures, adverts
for print, signage and vehicle graphics.

to pre-production artwork. I have also learned to cut and lay vinyl
graphics for vehicles and signage.
