I am a designer, retoucher and photographer with a genuine passion for design and photography. I have eight years experience in the industry working within small, medium and large agency structures and have worked on a variety of blue chip clients in many sectors including B2B, pharmaceutical, travel, lifestyle and fashion.
I have worked alongside some highly talented, inspirational and award winning designers and creatives who have inspired and made me highly motivated to produce great work to a high standard. I take pride in my projects. I’m dedicated and organised, with good attention to detail and a strategic approach.
