Creative Graphic, Web & Digital designer in Ipswich, UK

Graphic/Web/Digital – Creative Designer

Ambitious Designer with creativity in abundance.

An exceptional, creative, digital-savvy pixel perfect designer with a growing creative ambition. Familiar with taking projects from concept to competition with a collaborative and multidisciplinary team. Passionate about innovative modern graphic & web design strongly focused on clean cutting edge elegant design communications that resinate with clients, and also carry the creativity & flair to stand the test of time. I have a fresh, contemporary visual approach to design with strong conceptual thinking personified across multiple platforms and devices. Literally bursting with millions of pixels packed full of exciting ideas, looking for the creative expression to spread my wings and bring thinking to life.

In today's world technology, design & understanding it has become as fundamental as learning to read & write. I pride my work on intuitive designs that lend themselves to gracefully engage customers & their user experience. A keen eye for detail, clear vision, clean layouts and good spatial awareness personify GREAT DESIGN. Remember white is a colour!

I relish new challenges that provide me the opportunity to explore new creative ideas with the ocassional artistic licence. My innate enthusiasm and passion for design keep me abreast of current trends.

Working within a successful marketing & design agency for 7 years has given me extensive experience in an array of B2B and corporate design areas, encompassing brand development, advertising, corporate literature, direct mail, exhibition graphics, social content, sales literature, web design, UI design, analytics, seo, multimedia & of course marketing.

From developing marketing strategies, multimedia presentations & websites for the world's foremost IT recycling business with a net £50 million turnover, to working with the UKTI investment organisation Tech City, designing cutting edge graphics for Abu Dhabi based Investment company Genesis to the production of literature for the NHS, re-branding leading ISP providers, marketing exciting new global packaging business Notbox, to designing cutting edge graphics & exhibition stands at London Excel for the largest insurers at lloyds of London, global insurance company Catlin. I’m proud to say I have done it.

Above all have fun – Do what you love, & you'll never work a day in your life.

I'm proud to say I've thrived on every single project from start to finish. Playing a key role in every aspect & stage of the design process from initial conceptualisation, through to the delivery of the final design. From each idea conceived to rough sketches, image sourcing, design process, to print management, client liaising whilst adhering to strict corporate guidelines has furnished me a wealth of skills and knowledge at my disposal.

I have however made mistakes along the way, but I think it is those that define us as human beings & as designers.
