STATEMENT

I have recently relocated to the United States, and am a green card holder

looking to join an exciting and dynamic team, with diverse and interesting

clients and projects. I have had a broad spectrum of work within my eleven

years studio experience concentrating mainly on online projects and

interactive television over the last few years, but also taking in

production design, pre-press, animation and art working. I'm very

comfortable with client facing, taking briefs, providing continuity and

updates, but also working closely in a team with coders in a technical

environment. I am also used to working within tight guidelines whether it

be through technical constraints or corporate branding requirements. I have

picked up a broad technical understanding that has enabled me to work well

with coding colleagues and has given me the impetus to push what is

possible to get the best results.
