About

I am passionate about good graphic design, with attention to detail and an outcome that is both appropriate to the brief and attractive to the eye. I specialise in the creation of print-based design, and am capable of taking a project from initial concept through to print within a set time-frame and with strong attention to detail. I love learning new skills to apply to my trade, and enjoy taking on challenging and/or unique projects. Key Skills: Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign), Corel Draw, AutoCAD, HTML, CSS Coding
