Summary

I am a conceptual integrated designer with excellent creative design skills in both online and print. I have over 12 years experience in the design industry, originally starting my career as a print designer.  In the last 8 years, my focus has shifted to art direction in predominantly digital fields. This has not stopped my passion or enthusiasm for print design which I continue to work on at every opportunity.

My work covers a range of digital design including online tools, infographics, art directing videos to corporate identity, brochures, marketing collateral and pitch documents.

I am a fast, accurate designer with great organizational skills. I am able to take a job from concept to production in both online and print. I have excellent communication skills with experience in account handling and client relations.
