I have been lucky enough to work for some great clients both big and small on a very diverse range of products. Using in-depth knowledge of digital development process ensures projects are successfully delivered, on time to a high standard. I am confident with all manor of communication, with skills to communicate ideas to clients and brief members of the development team.
A bit about me.
Maintaining high product standards ensures only the very best work is released to clients. It’s never prescriptive, and I don’t have a set style of working, which means I can listen to the needs of the client and adapt to suit their specific requirements. I love being part of a broad delivery team, and one of the best aspects is staying directly involved with each project, right the way through to completion. Encouraging others in the creative department to share and explore solutions is key to on going success and growth.
