Working within the design industry for just over 25 years with high profile clients and with strong commercial experience, my background is based in the retail/corporate sector working on projects from corporate graphics and POS, small individual displays and larger full store creative design and roll outs. I am currently working as a freelancer, within all aspects of design, from artwork to full concept design, creative graphic projects and 3D visuals, managing projects and working with agencies such as Okapi and DUX / Duxiana, and over the last 2 years I have worked with ITG on projects both permanent and promotional from large full store designs and in-store category areas to small FSDU display for Heineken, Matalan, Dunelm and Grohe. I have excellent knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign etc.) and Cinema 4D / Sketch Up.
