TRANSCRIPT

I have been a designer for over 14 years, which has given me great experience and skills in a wide range of areas and media.

My experience covers packaging design to exhibition displays, corporate identity to long running advertising campaigns and much more. I have worked with companies of all sizes from small start-ups to major organisations.

I am a skilled, capable and hard working designer with a proactive and positive attitude and as a creative thinker, I can think outside the box to provide solutions.

I am able to communicate well on all levels through my ideas and creativity. I am comfortable with direct communications with clients, whether on the phone or face to face.

I am always willing to get my hands dirty in a project - Give me a scalpel and a mock up and I’ll be happy!

And fi nally... I’m always ready to make a tea (or two) for the studio!
