Creative Artworker, Retoucher, Visualiser at Freelance (2011-06 – Present)

Specialising in packaging, POS, exhibitions, and experiential projects. Highly experienced in working on localisation and multi-language artworks.

Creative Artworker, Retoucher, Illustrator at Design Go Limited (2008-10 – 2011-06)
At Design Go, I artworked and retouched high-quality graphics for both large and small formats. My projects ranged from large-scale exhibition graphics and point-of-sale displays to packaging ranges and catalogues. Additionally, I created pack visuals, illustrations, and infographics for instructional packs and booklets.
- As part of a two-man artwork team, I was often solely responsible for many designs, guiding them from concept stages to polished print or web-ready graphics.
- My deep understanding of packaging and print enabled me to creatively produce unique cutter designs and illustrations for Design Go and its sub-brands, many of which are still in global distribution.
Artworker at Wyndeham Kestrel Limited (2005-08 – 2008-10)
In this role, my primary responsibility was to create and amend FMCG packaging artwork for large clients such as Tesco, Britvic, and Unilever. During my time at Wyndeham Kestrel, I gained a solid knowledge of print processes and understood the importance of brand image. I learned to adapt fluently to the different styles of artwork and print required by each client.
- I attended artwork team meetings where I contributed insights on new work protocols, ways to improve workflow, and performance.
