My Information

I have been working in the Graphic Design industry for almost 30 years with comprehensive experience in many aspects of design – corporate, advertising and marketing with heavy bias on design for print. I am expert level in many of the industry standard softwares, including Adobe Creative Suite; in particular Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator. I create regularly create print ready artwork for a number of clients, including logos, mailers, advertising material, specialist print for events, illustration and image retouching. I completed my teacher training qualification (PGCE) about 3 years ago and have taught in Further and Higher Education colleges in Hertfordshire and Worcester, ages from 16 through to adult (including one individual who regularly hires me to help teach him design for use in his own growing business). I love the design industry with a passion and pride myself in teaching all aspects from the Principles of design through to specific software training in a humorous, fun and enthusiastic way. I am also a very keen photographer.
