EXPERTISE
BIO
A creative senior designer with over two decades of experience in graphics / electronic media. Training in both traditional and digital design and illustration means that my approach to all projects combines a fluent knowledge of today’s most sophisticated software with the core values that underpin great looking and functional design. A passion for adopting new technology and learning new techniques means that over the course of my career my visual and creative repertoire has grown to incorporate video production, motion graphics and 3D animation / visualisation. Extensive knowledge of Adobe and Autodesk programme suites gives me the flexibility to tackle any brief whether for print, web or video.
