Hi, I’m Claire. I’m a designer with over 18 years experience in marketing and visual communications. I’m passionate about creating great designs and high-quality artwork across a wide range of deliverables.<\/h5>

For the past 13 years I\u2019ve worked as a Senior Designer for a marketing agency, delivering print and digital content for a wide variety of clients. Working in many business sectors from Food and Beverage to Construction and Property Development, I\u2019m comfortable with a diverse range of styles. Whether defining a new look and logo, or working within existing brand guidelines, I’m able to adapt to many different approaches. From concept to completion I can help guide you through the creative process and achieve the results you want.<\/p>

3I am fluent in Adobe CS with a complete repertoire of skills in creating everything for print-ready artwork and digital designs. Experience has taught me good workflow, time management and that all important attention to detail.<\/p>

Outside of design, I\u2019m kept busy with my two young children. We love nature, day trips, sunny days and picnics. I love to bake and like to kid myself that I\u2019m edging closer to the perfect sourdough\u2026 watch this space!<\/p>
