Hello! I’m Claire, a Graphic Designer based in Leeds with over 10 years experience. As a freelancer for over 8 years now, I am confident I offer my clients the best service I can. I’m very well motivated, efficient, honest, open minded, and passionate about creating bold, simple and beautiful designs to help companies thrive. I am also used to project managing and meeting deadlines, and always very happy to take any feedback onboard in order to improve how I do things. I have good confident communication skills and enjoy both working in a team and independently. Networking is a big part of my freelancing, and so I’m used to meeting new people, talking about my work, and occasionally giving presentations. I am proud to have over 40 5 star reviews on my Google Business profile and always have returning clients.
