I'm a creative Graphic Designer with over twenty years' experience in the design industry, working across the UK and Asia. I spent 12 years in Hong Kong applying my design skills to work for international brands and agencies, and I've since relocated back to the UK. I deliver contemporary and innovative design for a range of clients, from local startups to global brands. I'm enthusiastic, self-motivated, and equally comfortable working as part of a team or on my own. I'm highly skilled with Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop, and I'm proficient with Microsoft Office. I love generating fresh ideas, solving problems, and meeting deadlines under pressure.
