    Work Experience
    -----------------

    Job Title: Freelance Designer
    Company: Skinner Creative
    Description: I am freelance designer specialising in interactive design, 3d/motion graphics, print design, branding and illustration.

    Some recent freelance projects I have worked on include; motion graphics for an interactive "Football Referee" DVD game, art direction, screen designs and animations for an interactive touch screen display to be showcased in the V&A Museum in London, 3d product animations for tradeshows and interactive resources and animations for one of the World"s leading broadcasting companies. Samples of this freelance work can be viewed on my website www.skinnercreative.co.uk
    From:01/Nov/2010

    Job Title: Interactive Designer
    Company: DESQ
    Description: Desq are a producer of interactive learning content for public sector, broadcast, corporate and educational publishing clients and design and develop courses, games and training materials.

    As Interactive Designer I was responsible for creating content for learner based resources, ranging from logo design, concepting ideas, interface design, flash animations, motion graphics, print materials and supporting business development.

    With my broad range of skills I was able to help Desq take some of their projects into directions that they hadn"t explored before, mainly in the use of 3d and motion graphics and finding ways to incorporate them into Flash based resources.

    A couple of highlights for me whilst working at Desq were, the creation of a 4 minute trailer using the Dr Who brand which was used as a proof of concept for BBC learning and demonstrates how to embed learning activities in a fun and engaging way. I also created under my own initiative a movie style intro video to raise awareness for a STEM based resource set in space. This was very well received by the client who was not expecting it and was able to use it as an advertising tool. Examples of both of these projects can be found at www.skinnercreative.co.uk
    From:01/May/2009 To:01/Nov/2010

    Job Title: Head of Design
    Company: ZOO Interactive / Route 1 Games
    Description: As Head of Design at Route 1 Games I was responsible for the art direction of games across various platforms, including Wii, DS, PC and Interactive DVD. The scope of my role varied from generating creative concepts and graphic styles in the initial stages, through to artwork and animations for final builds. I liaised with producers and clients to ensure that projects were completed within specified budgets and that tight deadlines were met.

    Some of the products that I art directed include:

    Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? / Wii, DS / Ubisoft
    Puzzler Collection / Wii, DS, PSP, PC / Ubisoft, Puzzler
    How To Pass Your Driving Test / DS / Ubisoft
    Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? – 10th Anniversary Edition / iDVD / Universal, 2waytraffic
    Suzanne Shaw"s Showtime Showdown / iDVD / Universal, 2waytraffic

    I worked on the development of pitch graphics for the show intro to "A Question of Sport" for the BBC. This led to Route 1 Games being commissioned to create and develop the graphics for the quiz show "Brainbox Challenge" which was aired on BBC2. I was lead artist involved in the design of the look and feel of the show, including the show titles, screen designs and animations.

    I was responsible for managing other artists and freelancers that helped develop good leadership skills, and the ability to communicate my ideas clearly and effectively.
