About
I am currently working for National Museums Liverpool where I have designed multiple large-scale exhibitions and marketing material for a wide audience. I have an abundance of experience in design & production of print media using Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop to name but a few. I specialise in print design and have particular skills in print management allowing me to take a project from briefing stage to the final product. I have worked on small scale corporate identity to large scale stadium branding and museum exhibition design so I can turn my hand to any job big or small! My brand is creativity, bold and engaging. My designs are fun! typically colourful and I'm always looking to push the boundaries, do things differently and try new things.
I am self-taught in Google Sketchup which gives me the ability to design both the 2D and 3D for an entire exhibition.
Whilst I specialise in print I have vast experience in web graphics too allowing me to take an entire promotion out into the digital and printed community. -
