ABOUT ME
I have gained a great deal of
experience working in Print for
my 10+ years. Working with a
wide range of clients, I have the
ability to fulfil a brief and deliver
a fully realised solution that both
considers and accommodates a
clients needs.
I am organised, professional and
am a highly productive person. I
love to try my hand at something
new and am looking to take on a
new challenge.
Having been based heavily in
Print, I now want to immerse
myself in the Graphic Design
world with a strong focus in the
modern mid-century illustration I
enjoy so much.
