Design for web and print

I am an experienced graphic designer with multi-disciplinary skills. I work mostly with design groups and businesses in and around London although I also take commissions from abroad.

Background: Extensive experience in publishing, corporate literature, branding and marketing. Over the years I have developed my career working with a diverse range of design agencies and personal clients, being involved in creative projects and production tasks. I studied at Ravensbourne College of Art & Design in Kent, England.

Affordable rates, usually charged by the hour or day, no agency fees. By contracting an independent designer for your print or website requirements your company can keep expenses to a minimum.

Over the years I have worked for many high profile design agencies and businesses, such as: Weber Shandwick Financial (annual reports and corporate literature), Wolff Olins (brand design), The Independent newspaper (in their marketing department and newsroom), McMillan-Scott (contract publishing), Wellcome Trust (corporate literature).

The main applications I work with are; InDesign, Quark Xpress, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and PowerPoint. For website development I always use Dreamweaver and Flash.

Language skills: My first language is English and I am also fluent in Portuguese (Brazilian). I also have some experience with Spanish and Italian.

February 2012

I created this website in February 2009. Its main function is to act as an online portfolio showing a small selection of commissioned design projects, some of which were produced in conjunction with other design professionals. These are only to be viewed as examples of my work experience.

An on-going personal illustration project that I am currently working on is; Regent Street. Similar to the one you see on this home page. It's another busy city street scene showing strong lines of perspective.
