I am a graphic designer based in the Bristol area with many years of professional experience. Since leaving my role as director of an advertising & design agency in Bath I have been running my own solo design business for the last 18 years from home. This has enabled me to become very flexible with combining my own clients with freelance and short term contracts. With over 30 years working within the creative industry, I am an all-round creative with a vast experience in artwork, art direction, account management, studio management, print buying, project management and copywriting. I am now looking for a new challenge as my main work has significantly reduced due to many factors including client budget restraints and uncertainty in the current economic climate. I have gained vast experience in graphics, design, artwork, art direction, account management, studio management, print buying and specifically managing my own projects from concept to completion. I have managed to build a solid reputation for creating design and communication solutions which are effective not only in cost but delivered on time and within budget. I am very much a hands on person and love to take projects from initial brief through to final delivery. I’m a great believer in being a team player and fully aware of the importance of developing strong relationships. Ultimately, a safe pair of hands. I look forward to hearing from you.
