PROFILE

Visual Effects and Motion Graphic Design graduate with over 5 years experience in the design
industry across the UK and Australia. Originally from the UK, currently based in Marbella, working as a
freelance photographer and digital designer. Projects in Marbella so far include; property photography

I am trained in a number of Adobe CC programmes including Lightroom, Photoshop, Illustrator,
Indesign and Aftereffects and own my own design equipment including Macbook Pro, Adobe CC
account, Canon 60D and numerous lenses, Bambo graphics tablet.
My design skills range from print based graphic design - brochures, flyers, posters, illustration, 2D
and 3D animation and visual effects, website design, photography and photographic retouching, video
production and cinematography. I am continually driven to expand my skills and stay up to date with the
latest design software.
Coming from a design background I have strong communication skills and attention for detail. My
previous management experience illustrates my strengths at taking responsibility.
I have a full, clean UK driving license and currently have a tutor for studying Spanish. I am an
extremely hard working individual and have a lot of passion and determination to be successful in
everything I do.
I have a positive, out going and approachable personality, with strong interpersonal skills. My
extensive travel and many different job roles within the design and hospitality industries, have prepared
and equipped me with a good amount of varied skills, including time management, strong organisation
skills, excellent customer service skills and the ability to succeed and thrive in a variety of different work,
social and educational environments.
Between October 2012 and December 2014 I spent two years travelling, working and experiencing
life in various countries across the world, including New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, Bali, Vietnam, Thailand and
Singapore. While living in Australia I spent a year working for a large photographic portrait company,
Verve Portraits in Melbourne as a graphic design and digital retoucher. Working and living abroad has
resulted in me becoming a stronger, more confident individual.
I am available to start with one weeks notice.
