Personal Description

Having worked in various roles related to creative new media for the past 10 years I have gained a broad knowledge and skills in technology, marketing, research, book keeping, sales and management. The experience I have spans corporate, agency start-up and freelance business environments, and more recently my focus has been to apply my skills to the giftware sector, charities, and arts (particularly dance technology) projects and companies.

My work as a freelancer has required and developed a high level of multi-skilling, organisation, self motivation, flexibility and drive. I strive to manage a balance between people-orientated and screen-orientated projects, and find that my innate love of data management, technology (and skill in remote work) complements my loyalty and my natural ability to get on with people.
