Skills

Comfortable on Mac or PC, very experienced with the Adobe Suite, up to and including CS5, Macromedia Freehand, Rhino 3D, Enfocus Instant PDF, Flash Catalyst, Dreamweaver, MS Office and knowledge of Quark Xpress and 3D Studio Max.

The bulk of my experience has been in graphic design, predominantly print and identity work, though in the last year I have sought to develop my abilities in packaging and web design, as well as taking a keen interest in the research side of the creative process. I feel that my background in a number of different design disciplines helps to make a better designer and allows me to approach challenges in different ways.


About Me

I have a strong passion for the industry and design in general. I am in the process of completing my Masters Degree and have been considering where I want to go in the future.

I feel that I am at a stage that both professionally and personally I am in need of a new challenge in new surroundings. I am friendly, enthusiastic and not afraid of putting in the hours to meet deadlines. I would make a dedicated and committed employee and I believe the skills and experience that I would bring would allow me to become an important member of the team.

I am an outgoing individual and have numerous interests such as music, going to the gym, martial arts, football, formula one, gaming and technology.
