Bio
I am a creative graphic designer who began using Adobe Photoshop back in 2008 to enhance my hobby of hand drawn colour caricatures into the modern digital world. I still use brush/crayon tools in Photoshop to give it a painted feel and keep in trend with my previous hand drawn caricatures.
After several years of learning, improving my Photoshop skills and doing some commissioned designs I decided to make a full career switch to Graphic Design in 2014 and joined a large crafting company which is part of the Ideal World shopping channel network. Here I was able to put my creative flair into commercial use and was involved with some large name brands such as Disney, Marvel, Tattered Lace, and Warner Bros (examples on the Digital Design and Print tab).
I left in October 2018 and joined a leading UK electrical regulation company called NAPIT as an in-house graphic designer. I have created email banners, website banners, social media posts, pull up banners, leaflets, booklets, a quarterly 60+ page members magazine, and signs for our trade events amongst other items. In addition to learning Photoshop I developed my design skills into other Adobe programmes including Lightroom, Illustrator, InDesign,
After Effects, Premier Pro and Dimension.
From 2021 onward I began learning Blender as stock photography is limited in this industry due to regulation outlines and specific design requirements, so I suggested learning 3D creation to enable us to create unique models and scenes/diagrams. This has propelled our designs and my artwork is used in publications, magazines and videos as the models can be used several times and placed in different scenarios. It also offers us a unique design perspective as we need to rely less on stock images that competitors can also use since the 3D artwork is created solely by myself and I have copyrighted the images to the company. See the 3D Modelling with Blender tab for examples of my 3D Rendering work.
