Skills
Design: I have eight years professional design experience, working across a range of digital and print media. My experience has involved all aspects of the design process, from initial brief and direction through development to final production. One of my strengths, and one of the aspects of design I most enjoy, is taking complex ideas or information and pairing them down into easily digestible marks and systems.
Production: My production experience covers both print and web. My main area of expertise is print, where I have solid understanding and extensive practice in setting up complex artwork files and working around the limitations of different printing technologies.
