London, England, United Kingdom
For me being a graphic designer has opened up a wealth of experiences. First starting as typographic print designer in a small design agency, where I crafted my design skills, absorbing knowledge for reports, branding and marketing. Throughout my working life I have been self motivated and can take initiative whilst keeping an eye for detail and delivering quality work, advising clients to implement designs that reflect and transform brands. With each new project, I have embraced new technologies with enthusiasm and a thrust to learn. I've been discribed as a "very technical designer and flexible creative artworker", as I love unwrapping a complicated bit of work that needs: styles setting; high end retouching; typesetting long documents; or template creations. To continue discovering and hone my abilities to deliver engaging designs, I am looking for freelance roles to broaden my horizon.
Some of the client that I have worked with; Design Bridge and Partners, Mother London, Superunion, McCann, Karmarama, DixonBaxi, Argent, Schroders, Knight Frank, Savills, Bilfinger GVA, GL Hearn, Capita and Socrates. I have a wealth of experience in the property industry. I have worked on re-brand projects from design to artworking. Annual report AW, packaging, pitches, brochure templates, print, digital to large format. I am available for short or long term freelance positions in Greater London and Central London. Please don't hesitate to contact me for further information.
I have worked at Knight Frank for nearly 6 years and in that time I have built the Creative Service team from two to a team of six supporting the UK and global offices. I have been hands-on and lead for two Knight Frank re-branding projects that help position the company into a billion pound company globally today. I have successfully set up technologies that have enabled office brand managers access to designed templates saving large overheads, thought-out the UK. I have a broad role that involves team work flow for the 38 strong Marcoms team, take in brief, mentor designers and artworkers, book in freelancers and advice the marketing team as brand guardian in the UK and globally. At the same time taking on design projects ranging from branding, email marketing, internal communications, micro-sites, point of sale, direct mail, brochures, magazines, presentations, pitches and exhibitions. I was part of the steering committee for the company's website in 2009 looking at design and site navigations. I also was involved with designing and setting micro-sites for The Wealth Report.
