Everyone is passionate about something, whether it’s sports, music or a heart felt cause. For me it’s the process that brings together typography, colour, texture and images into a particular design piece or project, whether on paper or screen, that is innovative, imaginative and inspiring!
As a well established Media Designer in both Web and Print I have more then just a grasp of Customer Service, Design and Production. First discussing the project with the client listening to their ideas and needs; designing concepts and layouts; then presenting the client with the concepts to further discuss any changes or new ideas; modifying the design to their specifications; and final, upon approval, preparing the project for web or print adhering to the industry standard and technical guidelines of the particular medium.
The last 4 years have been a time of incredible growth both professionally and personally. It has taught me what it means to excel in my field and the importance of staying on top of the latest trends and technology, specifically Responsive Design and the increasing need for mobile development. This includes an increased knowledge of web standards that combine HTML and CSS. I have become increasingly independent and self sufficient in my work ethic, which makes executing tasks and projects in a timely manner increasingly manageable. (a breeze)
I have also added to my skill set designing and redeveloping existing websites in WordPress and have started building mobile websites and native apps with jQuery Mobile.
I am equally comfortable working on contract or freelance, in your facility or in my home office. I am fully equipped with the latest version of Adobe Creative Suite Creative Cloud and a Macintosh running the Mountain Lion operating system.
