A creative and innovative designer with good organisational skills, I have 12 years experience in agency/industry environments and a design degree from Coventry University. I have worked on both small and large design projects, and I have the ability to plan time effectively and meet tight deadlines. I am used to working both on my own and in teams for external clients and internal marketing departments, taking briefs for a wide variety of media work. I have worked (either directly or through agencies) for clients such as JCB, Samsung, BBC, Orange, Microsoft, SigmaKalon and a number of computer components vendors. I have the ability to solve complex design problems, usability issues in interactive design and have expertise with production for web, print, CD-Rom and video. My objectives are to produce quality work in a creative environment, and to push the boundaries of the design and delivery mediums.
