What I Do, Experience & Qualifications

What I do…

I love to work as a team and develop creative, original concepts and solutions to briefs whilst dipping my fingers into all aspects of communication allowing me to engage the most appropriate and effective mediums with experience.

• Print
• Digital
• Advertising and Marketing
• Identity and Re-branding
• Motion Graphics
• Web site design and build
• Interactive Media design
• Marketing Strategy
• Consumer Behaviour
• Internet Marketing
• Integrated, Visual and Persuasive Graphic Communication

How I do it…

I’m constantly wanting to learn and challenge new possibilities in graphic communication design, thus by achieving strong skills with the latest software it allows me to produce a vast range of outcomes originating from my creative solutions.

• Photoshop
• Illustrator
• After Effects
• Final Cut Pro
• Dreamweaver
• Quark Express
• In Design
• Flash
• Live type
• Cinema 4D
• HTML/CSS
• CMS

I also do…

I enjoy experimenting with more traditional types of print, exploring and collaborating different outcomes. There’s nothing better than creating an original design using lino or etching with the perfect choice of substrate to deliver an outcome that cannot be achieved by all our modern types of printing.

• Lino
• Etching
• Screen printing
• Intaglio
• Block
• Tonal Sketches and Illustration
