I work closely on individual projects with a wide-range of Film and Television Industry companies and professionals designing artwork to effectively communicate and market their skills and services or whatever they wish to promote. I am also the Principal Designer for an large internal design project. This project involves creating an Artbook Style Directory for the Film & Television industry all across Canada. It will contain a large variety of unique and creative marketing artwork, the majority of which is being designed by me. This along with an extensive Web Portal to support the Directory are the two principal ongoing projects in the company. I’m a creative and enthusiastic designer specializing in product development, graphic design, user experiences, sketching, model making and creative marketing. I also have a considerable amount of experience with manufacturing techniques, design for print and computer aided design programs. I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Product Design and Technology from the University of Limerick, Ireland. The course was a hands on, highly in-depth and practical learning experience, during which visual Design, graphic design, product marketing and creative problem solving were a huge part of throughout. Graphic Design played a major role in the presentation, exhibition and showcase stages of projects in order to communicate work effectively. I gained valuable experience designing physical products, marketing posters, logos, storyboards, user experiences, user interfaces and more. I have always had a passion for design and constantly strive to create new and exciting things! hide
