I'm an artist, designer and illustrator with over 25 years experience, I have the creative vision and skills to produce high quality commercial print and designs together with the versatility to tailor any design style required by the client, with the ability to meet strict deadlines. I have extensive knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite, Procreate, experienced product, repro and print knowledge as well as highly skilled hand illustration and painting techniques. Having worked within busy studios I have experience of being part of and in the running of a team, as well as the drive to work well independently. My product knowledge is expansive, and I have experience liaising with sales, production teams and clients, in addition to organising the daily schedule and communicating with printers. I have a passion for design and I’m always looking to expand my skills and knowledge with new challenging opportunities. I am hard working, ambitious, highly motivated, organised and committed to producing a high standard of work for clients, whether a large company or an individual in need of a small bespoke piece of work. I am always open to new challenges and learning new products and skills. I design and develop successful ranges across all product areas both Christmas and Everyday for all the leading bluechip and wholesale companies both UK and America. Products include cards, gift wrap, gift bags, gift tags, crackers, partyware, stationery, NPD, packaging and display, craft packs, souvenir products and homewares. I also create and analyse trends and themes, digital visual presentations, powerpoint, market reports aswell as visual selling aids for sales. With 10 years busy inhouse studio experience before freelancing I produce a high level of work to tight deadlines with excellent attention to detail. I am responsible, good with time management and liaise well with clients to deliver the finished product. Freelancing for the last 15 years I have worked with a variety of clients and built a wide design portfolio including taking regular commissions for fine art portraits and paintings, a self published card and art print range, logos, rebranding, marketing flyers, leaflets, adverts for both printed and digital media, editorials, infographics, textiles, wedding and funeral stationery. I have also worked with a budding writer to create covers for his novels and with several bands to produce new logos, cd sleeves, promo material including social media visuals. My experience has developed and strengthened when liaising with clients taking briefings, big studio design managers and with printers to check proofings.
