TIMELINE
visual
I am a creative, detail-orientated and reliable designer, with a first-class degree and
11 years’ hands-on experience in the design industry. I specialise in print and digital design for fast-moving companies, within busy design studios.
I have solid experience of the entire creative process, from concept and creation - through to completion, repro, printer liaising and monitoring UX. I am fluent in Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, After Effects, Premiere Pro and Microsoft PowerPoint, Word and Excel. I regularly use Wix and have basic Dreamweaver abilities.
Recently, I have worked on award-winning brands, such as: Superdrug,
Lloyd's Pharmacy, Asda magazine, Grand Designs, Good Homes, Diabetes UK, Gurgle, ICON, OnOffice and Discover London, for top agencies -
Hearst, Luxury London, The River Group and Media 10.
