• Graphic / Web Designer for Student Flights

  • Aug 2011 - Sep 2014

  • Feb 2010 - Aug 2011

  After years of working for other companies doing design and development, I finally decided to create my own Web Design company called Zero Signal. Contracting to small companies and also designing full e-commerce and static website, I found this work to be very creative and rewarding. Teaming up with an excellent developer, I concentrated mostly on meeting new clients, designing up the pages that they had in their head and also creating the HTML and CSS shells. Other parts of my job included coding PHP, jQuery and Javascript, developing new and creative solutions for client needs. Show less

• Lead Web/Graphic Designer

  • Aug 2006 - Feb 2010

  As Lead Designer at eMark, my role was to meet with the clients, get inside their heads and then create their perfect e-commerce website. This then lead to me mocking up the designs in Adobe Photoshop and once approved, I would cut up the design and develop their page, using XSLT, XML, HTML, CSS and Javascript. One of the key things I did at eMark was re-designing the XSLT and HTML templates for the entire system, to create a system that would allow for extremely fast prototyping of websites, as well as maximum design changes, without affecting back-end code. This role proved challenging, as web design was not the only part of my role. Constant communication with clients was a must and because of the personalised designs we provided, logo, catalog, EDM, email signature, business card and flyer designs were commonly asked of me as well.
