Profile

Utilising 15 years of experience and a firm grasp of industry processes and packages enables me to evaluate the potential and limitations of these processes and communicate with colleagues on an effective level. 

I have good, effective communication skills with the ability and experience to liaise between design, project management and development teams. As an organised individual with strong problem solving skills, I integrate into an existing team and studio set-up with ease, with the ability to work on multiple projects to tight deadlines.

I have designed, art directed and managed digital projects from a creative and functional perspective. Ability to provide versatile solutions tailored to individual client needs whilst building strong designer/client relationships.
