About Me

Highly polished forward thinking graphic design and web design for online content, film and all print media.

Based in Manchester, UK I turned full-time freelance in Nov 2010 having gained a great deal of experience over a number of years designing for various corporations. I am currently building my personal, non-corporate portfolio (a lot of work I do is under NDA which makes this hard to showcase!).

I have a very broad range of clients in industries I am now very familiar with ranging from the food and drink industry to online gaming, and working with a lot of new media and connectivity.

I am now heavily involved in a lot of large scale work, including charity projects, and I am project managing a few larger ventures thanks to PPH. If I have bid on your project it is because it must really interest me, because my time is quite short generally.

My design styles are as broad as my client base, from typical hard hitting, sound, business branding, to more stylised, and fluid hand drawn or illustrated work. I relish working to a deadline, and although I often work to very specific criteria, some clients are looking for a moment of inspiration, and that's where I excel.

I'm always ready for a challenge, and providing the brief is concise and well-conceived I can produce work to a very tight schedule. If you are online, you will see amendments almost immediately!

I also design websites, and for more complicated sites I work with a very experienced back end coder. For web work I tend to work in dreamweaver, and generally favour php design.

Specialities:
Logo and brand Development and Design.
Web Design (in .psd layers for coders to work with) including UI, and UX.
Illustration and animation.
All print media from A0 posters and banners to business cards and favicons.
Facebookiphone and ipad apps.


Extra areas of work:
Copy writing, script writing, editing, proof reading, and typesetting.
Music composition, music recording and vocal recording.

Areas covered: The World - Graphics via internet

Fi has now completed numerous aspects of design work to a high standard, progresively learning and adapting towards the image that we require whilst adding her own uniquely evolving style.

Education

I have not formally trained in any of the skills I have acquired over the last ten years to do the now many varied jobs I find myself undertaking.

All my experience has come from working and learning on the job. Thus I have a great ability to think out side of the box, and not be limited by any software.

I have been a writer, a musician, and actor; a stage manager, a landscape gardener; I have worked in retail management, pottery, and equestrian sports. I have been stuck in offices, and out of the field.

In short, I have a very long portfolio career that I know adds to my skill, and mindset in any given field of expertise, and thus informs my work in a way that training as a graphic designer and living in a design house for ten years could not possibly afford.
