My experience has predominantly been with High End jewellery but I have also worked in many other sectors of the jewellery industry including high street, costume, fashion/catwalk, even silverware and objet d'art. My previous clients included: De Beers LV, Robert Glenn Ltd, PJ Watson, Paul Slade, Soudé, Saunders & Shepherd, Joyelli, Graeme Black, Arabella Pollen, Stina Richardson, Daniel Prince and Thomas Lyte. Commercially I have designed for Marks & Spencers, House of Fraser, Debenhams, F Hinds and more.

    I am very proficient in the use of Adobe Photoshop and virtually all design work I produce is created with this aid alhthough I do also have excellent hand illustration skills.

    I enjoy working both in a team or on my own and have an understanding of Diamonds, Gemstones and jewellery production. I am extremely hardworking, self-motivated, enthusiastic, honest and trustworthy. As a freelance designer I am used to working from briefs, time based projects and restricted budgets but also to prepare product forecasts and collections to suit the client. I am known to be quite fast at understanding what the client wants and can interpret them rapidly into a finished presentation drawing.

    I have an online port folio www.ailsamackie.co.uk
