I'm offering
Hi,
I am a competent Illustrator, I specialise in Fashion Design but I can pretty much draw anything as long as I have a clear brief. I turn pencil sketches to line drawing, then add colour with water colours, pen and / or Photoshop.
I have worked as a Fashion Designer in the past for MAXMARA (Italy) and BAMFORD and GAP (London). So I am trained in tech pack illustrations and collection line ups. Perfect proportion is my thing!
I have enjoyed illustrated for various books and magazines. My most notable work being for L.K.BENNETT and THE BRITISH FASHION COUNCIL.
Personal gift ideas I have worked on include ballerina sketches, peoples pets, romantic lettering , sketches of bride and groom and simple drawings to go alongside graphic design text.
I love illustrating and getting good feedback from my clients is important for my job satisfaction. I am good at keeping on brief and I will always be contactable if need be.
I look forward to potentially working on new and exciting projects with you!
