I am a creative graphic designer and finished artist with extensive experience across financial services, government, publishing, advertising, and print. I deliver high-quality print and digital solutions that align with brand guidelines and client requirements. I have thorough knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite to maximise efficiency, and I excel at design layout with strong attention to detail and tight deadlines. I enjoy guiding projects from concept to completion, collaborating closely with account managers and clients to achieve tangible results. My career has spanned senior artwork roles and contract design positions, where I’ve contributed to annual reports, prospectuses, tenders, bid documents, interactive forms, and long-form print pieces. I’m adept at reformatting documents to client styles, and I bring a collaborative, client-focused mindset to every project I undertake.
