Self Employed

• Freelance Designer

  • Jul 2008 - Sep 2010

  I have been working as a Freelance Designer since July 2008, after returning from Hong Kong back in May. Mostly I have been working on apparel graphics - for children's wear with some men's and ladies. My strength is mainly within Children's wear, though I am happy to turn my hand to other areas. I have strong skills in Adobe Illustrator with some in Photoshop. I love to design and create and would like to push my freelance further.
