Washington DC
Prior to this I worked as Lead Creative for WestLake Consulting Group, a small interactive agency in
Washington DC, where I designed for clients ranging from the US Department of Education & Bowling
Green State University, Ohio (a distance learning community website) to the intranet for the US Mint.
I was responsible for the complete re-branding of the company in 2000, prior to my return to the UK.
The branding collateral, which included a brochure, letterhead and folder, was given an Award of
Excellence from the Printing & Graphic Communications Association and Certificate of Merit from
the Printing Industries of America.

Before moving to Washington DC I worked as a senior-level design in Toronto, Ontario for an online
learning start-up company and as a freelance designer in Vancouver, BC. In 1997 I returned to college
to obtain a post-graduate Diploma in Applied Information Technology from Capilano College in
North Vancouver, British Columbia, awarded in 1998.

Tokyo
From 1991 to 1995 I worked in Tokyo, Japan designing print work for corporate clients including
Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Embassy of Canada, Embassy of Australia and the Japanese
Foreign Ministry.

Early training
I began work as a designer in London working on books and partwork magazines for various publishing
companies including Marshall Cavendish, Mitchell Beazley and Dorling Kindersley. During my time at
Marshall Cavendish I worked on various magazines which allowed me to get involved in styling and
directing photo shoots for covers and interior pages.

My interests include reading, painting, walking my two dogs - Digby and Baxter - and listening to a wide
and eclectic mix of music ranging from Bach and Handel to Snow Patrol, Seth Lakeman and Duffy.
