About

For as long as I can remember I’ve been obsessed with anything creative. If it needs, designing, crafting, building or making, I’ve been drawn to it. So since leaving college I have worked in a variety of industries as a graphic designer.

However, in April 2022 I realised that although I was very comfortable where I was, I didn’t feel fulfilled with what I was doing. I could have stayed there forever but as they say ‘A ship is safe in harbour, but that’s not what ships are for’.

I needed something more, so as well as working freelance design, I am also working as a locations assistant / marshall for TV and film productions and also looking to work as an Art department assistant.

I pride myself on my glass half full attitude and my need to be learning new things. I’m very hands on and not intimidated by any new task, no matter how unusual!

I am fluent in CC and especially excel in Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign. Happy working on both Mac and PC. I also have a full clean driving license and I’m happy driving large vans and pulling trailers if needed.
