PROFILE

For the past ten years I have worked in the graphic design industry and gained confident skills that I would now like to utilise in a new role. I have an excellent understanding of the design process from initial brief to the end product. I have meticulous attention to detail and pride myself in my work as web designer, something I am very passionate about. I am also active and enjoy adapting my skills to keep up with the latest technology.
