My Resume

Over the last 12 years I have enjoyed developing a great design portfolio that illustrates my skills in branding, prepress, front-end design, illustration and conceptual design. Working within a result orientated, competitive environment has helped me grow as a designer and develop strong management skills, allowing me to challenge my ability to work under pressure with teams between 2 departments co-managed by me as an in-house designer. My aspiration is to work in a company where I can practice free-thinking and develop high quality, innovative design.
