CV

I graduated from the University of Brighton in 1999 with a degree in Illustration and have had a passion for art & design from a very early age. My design work uses various media styles dependent on the project. Program skills include Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver/Flash and Quark.

I have an ambitious and organised approach to work and am dedicated to maintaining accuracy and high standards whilst using own initiative.
