Career History
2002 - Present Day Self Employed Digital Graphic Designer I have designed Print media for the likes of Nokia, Samsung and Barclays to name a few. I have designed and operated graphics for glamorous live events and Conferences for the likes of Jaguar, Ferrari, Barclays, Microsoft, Lilly, GE Healthcare, Vodafone, O2, Bacardi and many others. Having gained considerable experience in dealing with a wide range of clients working in most industries, I can put my mind to anything creative.
1998 - 2002 Conference & Graphic Designer/Operator @ Freehand My position involved producing a large quantity of PowerPoint, Flash and Photoshop-intensive presentations for such companies as Ford, Kellogg's, Mars, Honda and many others. As a team member I worked to strict timescales, corporate briefs and branding guidelines, which often involved working long hours to incorporate last-minute changes before operating the shows for these clients. I also design a great deal of in-house advertising material such as Magazine adverts for system, service and software sales and promotional flyers for exhibitions.

I am constantly learning
Its simple. I love designing.
I've been creating, customising, defacing, replicating and capturing all things that are visually stimulating to me as far back as I can remember.
