Design skills
I am a creative designer with well-rounded skills in various areas of design and have had over 4 years industry experience working
in an agency environment, in-house and as a freelancer. I consider my specialist areas to be packaging and branding where I have
gained most of my experience to date.
I have excellent technical ability having had over 8 years experience using Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Quark Express & many
other design applications.
I am an organized and conscientious worker with a good attention to detail. I feel equally at home working individually or as part of
a team and am comfortable with working under pressure and working within tight deadlines.
