Skills
I'm offering
I have more than 15 years experience in creative communications. My specialist areas are media handling, creative writing, graphic design, photography and animation. I have produced a wide range of communication materials for the NHS and other clients. I have advanced skills in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. I also embrace traditional creative methods by producing hand-drawn animations whenever possible. You might say I'm a bit quick on the draw.
