LIMITED EDITION TAX DISC HOLDERS


 

I am a multidisciplinary graphic designer...

I work on a freelance basis for many of London's top design consultancies and also directly with clients.
My core skills lie in developing effective brand identity, graphics, print, corporate identity and lately interactive design.

Having a strong background in brand design and fine art has helped to develop wider fields in design with a thorough understanding of visual communication and strong ideas. I work with a collaborative spirit and develop each project in close consultation with the commissioner, following all details with relevant printers until happy completion.

I am in constant pursuit of fresh ideas with extreme attention to detail and I love problem solving and coming up with ideas and seeing through the project to the final stage, whether it is for consumer products, retail, fashion, food, art and more. . .

I am looking for a business partner/account manager:

Do you enjoy writing proposals to potential clients and have great client/development skills and a full understanding of design? You will be responsible for liaising and working closely with myself and the client, taking briefs, scheduling, providing written cost estimates to clients and invoicing. Read more...
