I love working in the creative industry and have a continuous service record of over 35 years with my current employer. I have led pre-press, production and design teams to deliver print, digital and motion content, using a wide range of Adobe tools and video software. I am passionate about mentoring colleagues to grow their skills and always looking to learn, improve and generate ideas. In my spare time I enjoy playing piano and guitar, recording music for motion graphics, and taking on DIY woodwork projects.
