I am an experienced and established design consultant with expertise in brand identity, printed communications, and screen based media. Clients include professional services sector, finance, automotive, food, education, etc

I am currently working as a free lance designer following a period at a senior level within several top 25 UK design agencies. My experience encompasses project management, art direction and design at the highest level. Examples of such clients range from WorldCom to Lloyds TSB and many smaller clients such as Ignite business systems, Epalan Clinical Consultancy, ESD Environmental, Touchstone Asset Management, CCRE etc.

I look beyond a brief to produce successful marketing communications and rely on my experience to deliver quality results for clients � adding vitality, innovation and a thirst to produce communications that get to the heart of the matter.

My reputation is based on my ability to delight and surprise clients with a wide range of high quality work spanning many sectors and media. My intelligent approach will give your work focus and substance as well as style.

Whether a business is small or large, they are still unique. Special. What matters to them and their customers also matters to me. And the least a client deserves is design that reflects its individuality. There�s nothing quite like a relationship of trust, confident that a client is getting the best advice at the right price. Technical skill is crucial, but its empathy that makes the difference.

I\'m hugely passionate about what I do and with that comes a drive to meet and exceed targets for each and every client I work with.

Experience:
Over 25 years professional design experience with several award winning top 25 UK design agencies in London and the South West at a senior level including creative director.

I have a can do and proactive attitude to every aspect of my work, from client facing to being adaptive and positive to changing situations and people. I believe that I have a strategic mind and understand the need to balance creativity and innovation with commercial reality.

Because I have project managed and account handled clients for many years I have the ability to manage and plan my own time well and within budget restraints. I maintain high levels of professionalism and creativity and believe I am perceptive, judicious and organised with a flexible approach to my work.

I have a good understanding of the commercial needs of my clients and regard myself as positive and professional with a right-first-time attitude. I have a wealth of relevant professional experience across many market sectors that demand high levels of client service and understanding of the needs of those businesses.

I plan and manage resources on behalf of clients which includes building relationships, negotiating best rates with suppliers and monitoring quality and value for money. I believe I have always maximised revenue streams through ensuring margins are protected and managing bought in costs and services.
