I am an experienced and conscientious print and design professional having worked in the printing industry for over 20 years at various organisations.I have very strong design, artwork and typesetting skills which I have been using for over 20 years. I initially started out using QuarkXPress and Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator but for over 12 years my main artworking tools have been the full Adobe Suite (Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat), which I use on a daily basis.I regularly use Microsoft Office when clients send in data as part of the brief. Word is often used for copy in brochures and POS. Clients often create tables in Excel which then need importing into Indesign.With a background in reprographics, I have a deep understanding of litho printing, repro, retouching and a passion for artworking. I pride myself on my attention to detail and meticulous organisational skills.I’ve gained a very good knowledge of production processes and artwork set up, including pre-flight proof checking, providing quick sign-off for artwork to go to print.
