About
Communication is the center of my working life. My work has always
benefited from a keen ability to translate ideas and hard information
into working solutions. For the last three years I have been working
as a freelance Graphic Designer/Illustrator and for HBOS retail
network as a Client Adviser. This has given me the chance to grow
my communication skills, both verbal and written and has made my
working life more efficient in terms of time and clarity. Being able to
translate and condense large amounts of information and pass that
on to the client in a form they can digest and understand is
essential.

Client relationships have built my business, both creatively and

financially. My own experience in business and design has gifted me
a unique set of skills that have proven to lead to solid and creative
business ideas and solutions.

My most recent client is healthcare company Centre for Sight. I was

approached to create and direct print advertisements and
promotional material for the re-branding of their laser eye surgery
company. Undertaking the implementation of the company’s new
branding values set out by Caulder Moore, these advertisements
would be used to coincide with the opening of their new private
hospital in East Grinstead.

While my experience has been wide, everything I have learnt and

gained has come through hard work, an eye for detail and a good
sense of business.

Programs
I have used Adobe Creative Suite for a number of years and have an
in-depth knowledge of Photoshop and use Illustrator and Indesign
for most of my work. I am also conversant in Photoshop Elements 6
and Artrage 2.5. I use Microsoft office on a daily basis focusing on
Word, Powerpoint and Excel through my position as an Adviser.
