Info
- Senior Web Developer / Graphic Designer at Parker DesignOnline Media | United Kingdom, GBSummary
I’m a superior graphic designer, web developer and promoter. I am an expert in guiding a project from concept to delivery. I have over 15 years’ professional experience of delivering design for print and web.
However, my skill set goes much deeper than that.
I’ve started a successful business from the ground up. I’ve headed up campaigns for a varied portfolio of public sector, private sector and blue-chip clients. I work seamlessly with colleagues from all stages of print and web design: from talking complex code with programmers to visualising rebranding projects with business owners to discussing finance with account managers.
Currently, for Parker Design, as a Senior Web Developer / Graphic Designer, I can flex my creative muscles in both graphic design and web development.
On a more personal level, I’ve put my heart and soul into setting up and running the successful Funkdub franchise for more than seven years, with more than 80 live DJ sets including the booking and promotion of major bands across the North West.
I’m highly skilled in:
Producing strong creative concepts for digital media, video, live events and print production.
Presentation, organisation and layout skills are of an excellent standard due to my background in Art, Design and Communication.
Graphic design for printed media, with a wide portfolio, including flyer, leaflets, billboards, posters, booklets, prospectuses, brochures and marketing materials. Leadership, management and development of client focused creative teams. Taking full creative briefs in client facing roles.
Understanding client brand ethos, business activity and cultures in order to develop strategic, on-brand creative solutions.
The route to my current level of creativity and professionalism began with formal training in Fine Art and Computer Science, leading to a successful period as Web, Design and Publications Manager at the University of Chester during the birth of the commercial internet...
