I’m a Freelance Graphic Designer based in Sydney, Australia. I enjoy creating visually appealing design solutions across a broad range of mediums. I have over 6 years experience in the publishing industry, most recently with a Senior Designer title in a Deputy Art Director role. Strong foundations in weekly magazine design have given me the skill of quickly and effectively building creative design solutions. I’ve spent the last 18 months working in a freelance capacity for a range of different clients and have recently completed a UX Design course.
Working as a designer in the publishing industry, I’ve been exposed to a variety of different tasks. Working closely with an editorial team to creatively produce a high quality magazine on a tight weekly deadline is a given. While only in a ‘designer’ role, as a result of frequent downsizing I was also required to: edit videos, retouch images, generate website content, build digital magazines, contribute to social media, coordinate design solutions with advertising and marketing departments, direct (and, from time to time, feature in) photo shoots and occasionally contribute small amounts of writing. I also have experience in managing freelancers and guiding them to ensure their work to suits the style of the brand being contributed to.
Going forward, I intend on continuing to strengthen my current design skills, while also pushing my expertise into other related areas. I am looking to reinforce my skills in all digital design, including: digital magazines, UI/UX design, wordpress websites, social media, photography/videography and advanced video editing. I also intend to strengthen my skills in communication, teaching, and motorcycle and vehicle mechanics.
