This website is at the wild-child stage of its life cycle. It is my intention to showcase a career in the Design industry which began when magic markers, drawing boards, CS10, Swan Morton and 35mm roll film were the tools of the trade and now, armed with the latest digital kit and an ever developing skill set, I can take on and deliver on any challenge you care to throw my way.

If you are looking for a temporary addition to your studio, my history will tell you that I am a highly motivated, extremely creative and obsessively organised, with great attention to detail, excellent communication skills. I have worked with a diverse range of clients across multiple B2B and B2C sectors including travel, retail, sport, fashion and leisure. If you need someone to create and manage a project on a freelance basis, please give me a call.

My UPS as a manager, has been the set up and running of Studios for 3 companies - Project management from business case presentation and approval to delivery of customer design and print collateral. With over 30 years experience working as a designer, creative artworker, pre-press specialist and photographer, I have the nouse to work independently or collaboratively and with initiative, I also have the ability to roll high quality work out across the full-channel mix under the pressure of hard deadlines.
