Available immediately I am a Creative Designer and Business Owner with over 17 years of experience in Product, Graphic and Creative Design. I am passionate about creating products from concept through to design and production, with a strong command of Adobe Creative Suite, a keen eye for creativity, and a commitment to delivering high-caliber, well-packaged products. I believe in products with a personal touch and bring this to life through my hands-on approach and attention to detail. Having run my business solo, I can independently execute design concepts from initial idea/sketches/mood boards to the end result at the highest standard. I also have experience packaging/merchandising to ensure the gifting and purchasing experience starts from the very first moment. I have recently decided to close my business to embark on a creative career for a brand that excites me, bringing renewed energy, ideas, creativity and love for product design to my future role.
