I have over seven years experience as a full-time Retoucher and six years as an Artworker/Retoucher, working with major agencies across automotive, FMCG and consumer products. I pride myself on delivering imagery that meets exacting standards and tight deadlines. I create both creative and technical imagery, from illustrations to photographic composites, including removing unwanted elements, adjusting colour and contrast, and enhancing details to produce eye-catching results. My strengths are organisation, initiative and commitment to every stage of a brief, from scamps and image creation to layout and high-end retouching with multi-layered comps and precise colour correction. I have also completed a high-end retouching course (Retoucher Pro) and a Photography course in London.
