Training is a job I enjoy and involves many tasks: creating engaging course content and adapting the learning to suit the individual learners needs and requirements. All my training has a focus on practical projects with time for delegates to practice techniques so ensuring a higher retention of information. Some of the organisation I have undertaken training for include: NHS, BUPA, Ikea, police force, army, Canon, councils, and universities. I trained and worked for many years as a technical illustrator in England and Germany creating illustrations for companies such as Ford, Opal, George

Since 1997 I've worked as a trainer alongside my design work, and have taught thousands of people how to use creative software like InDesign, QuarkXpress, Illustrator, Photoshop and Lightroom. I enjoy both the challenge of getting a group of complete beginners competent and confident very quickly, and also the different task of tailoring a very specific course to a single person so they can learn or enhance the particular skills they need. I've greatly enjoyed watching people develop their skills and in particular their creativity.

I'm a graphic designer who specialises in developing visual systems through the use of information design, a branch of graphic design that deals with data visualisation, diagram design and communicating information visually in a clear & effective manner. However, I'm also multi-disciplined and work in a range of different graphic & web design roles. As a designer I have a somewhat modernist influence on my work. I like to rely on a lot geometric forms and sometimes my design work can be very systems based. I believe design is best when it is clear and communicates the most effectively.
