Description

With 10+ years of professional experience I have worked on a variety of projects for different businesses, both large and small. I strive to produce quality, accurate designs which are clean and usable and have excellent skills in Adobe Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.

I specialize in eye-catching print design, with excellent pre-press knowledge, but also love to design for the web and digital output.
