Producing high quality artwork with great attention to detail. Fortunate enough to have a small amount of offline voice over experience, multiple accents/voices. For the majority of my time here through the different company identities: TfG (The Facilities Group), Mundocom and now Prodigious, I have been the chief artworker on the Toyota Motor Europe account, producing brochures for the centralised production department in up to 23 languages based on an English language master. I artwork these from design files supplied by Saatchi & Saatchi Design. I am the ‘go to’ person in the artwork studio with much client, process and technical knowledge in the production of our valued client’s brochures and other deliverables. Using a customised online asset management system, I have re-built English language master brochures for local pan-European translation and subsequent inflow of xml template files into InDesign to create translated brochure artwork. Over the years, we as a team (centralised production) have developed robust processes and workflows (including our current Twist high res pdf workflow – which I have experience using rather than behind the scenes developing - though I was involved in an advisory capacity on its development and have been key to creating an artwork checklist and preflight process). I have been a big part in ensuring that the high volume of brochures that go to print are delivered on time and in good shape.A number of Toyota’s models and language variants have been turned into interactive ebrochures, which I have been heavily involved in creating, with much independent learning, training (also training colleagues) and creative input plus realising the ideas of our talented creative team with precision using Edition Digital, a widely used third party platform.

The sole artworker in the design studio of this print firm. I did a six month stint as Studio Manager

Working for this small independent typesetting and artwork studio within a print company (Oak Litho) I began as a Paste Up Artist and moved on to acquire Compugraphic typesetting and subsequently Mac skills. Mostly self-taught (Mac) through manuals and self-sponsored training, including a ‘Mac-to-Plate’ and a Photoshop course at the London College of Printing.
