Hi, welcome to my website. I have been designing for 20 years and 17 of those freelancing. I started off as a general designer for print, but now mainly work on magazine design. As a professional in the design industry, it's my job to create great layouts and designs, either working on my own or within a team.
I have extensive Photoshop retouching skills and have a good understanding of repro. I also enjoy creating illustrations with traditional mixed media, as well as digital manipulation of my own photography.
Hope you like what you see and many thanks for browsing my website.
