Skills

I have a lot of experience with Adobe Creative Suite and have skills in — and a good understanding of — HTML and CSS. I have experience with JQuery and am used to collaborating with developers on projects.

I like to take a holistic approach to design — seeing something through from an idea to a finished product. I take immense satisfaction in the creation of ideas, products and experiences.

I have a deep understanding of grid systems, typographic theory and the principals of UX and UI design.

Personal

As well as a love for functional design, I have a background in music and sailing. I have toured with international artists as a band member and had CDs released in Europe and Japan. I was previously a sailing and powerboat instructor, competing at a national level.
