I have a full Adobe Creative Suite licence and am an experienced user of Adobe XD, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere (among many others). If you have any other requirements, please let me know.

+ Do you use plugins?

My style is to empower my team and lead by example, and this means I get my hands dirty to ensure only the best outcome is delivered.

+ Do you write copy?

I tend to partner with a trusted copywriter if and when needed.

+ Do you illustrate or take photography?

While I can storyboard and illustrate if needed, I generally work with illustrators and photographers to refine a creative strategy which is in line with your business needs and goals.

+ Have you ever managed a team?

Yes, I have managed multiple digital design teams ranging in skillset and ability from Junior to Senior level. I take a lot of pride in mentoring my teams towards success, whether that's streamlining environments, fine-tuning their systems, processes and workflows, or building their capability.

+ Do you have experience with senior stakeholders?

As an experienced Director I work closely with senior and executive stakeholders articulating design outputs and creative direction to ensure buy-in.

+ Do you have experience in project management?

I believe that the success of a project comes from well-structured processes and systems. Projects can easily deviate and evolve, meaning cost to the business. I am experienced in managing multiple projects concurrently – I primarily use Basecamp to manage my workflow though I’m equally as happy using the project management software of your choice.
