DESCRIPTION
A visual look at some of my design projects...TRANSCRIPT
The visual book of me.
Welcome to the visual book of me. The following information is a brief insight in to my design background, career and a showcase for some of my work.
Personal Profile I’m an experienced passionate designer with a solid background in creative and graphic design. Currently owner and Creative Director of Captiva Design Ltd. Working on a wide variety of design projects across many design disciplines. With access to a network of technical, content and photographic specialists helping deliver that extra support when required.
My philosophy is that there’s no excuse for bad design and no matter how big or small the project, the quality, attention to detail and delivery will always be of the highest standard. Previously I was Head of Visual Design at Orange and before that key roles included heading up and building design teams for The Press Association, Sporting Life and Ananova. Plus 14 years in newspaper and magazine design, The combination of working for such leading international organisations has given me wide range of skills and experience in the field of brand development, corporate and new media design.
