In depth:

I am a self-employed graphic/3d designer. I spent a total of 5 years studying general art and design, and graphic design in which I received traditional training. In the 16 years since leaving college I have worked for a variety of print/design and exhibition companies as well as a freelance agency.

On leaving college I was introduced to the digital world where I have always found new software easy to pick up. The computer does not control the work I produce, it is simply a tool which aids the production of design ideas. No amount of computer skill can hide a lack of creativity, and it is this belief which drives all my design work.

I am a committed Christian. As I believe I have a duty to make the best use of the talents given to me by God, this benefits your company: I always put maximum effort into every job, regardless of size.

I am familiar with all standard mac applications: Indesign, Quark, Photoshop & Illustrator. In 3d applications I use Vectorworksand Renderworks. In web work I use Dreamweaver and Imageready with a good understanding HTML and CSS code.

If you would like to discuss any design work, or just to get an initial idea of design costs, please don't hesitate to contact me.
