Profile
I have a keen eye for image editing and video production and have honed my skills using
programmes such as Photoshop, After Effects and Premier Pro. I have carried out paid design work
for a number of years. This passion for design then led to an introduction to web design and later
development. I found myself fascinated with code and the endless capabilities it offered in both
function and appearance. The enjoyment that I received from continuously building and designing
websites was the reason I chose to study the subject further. My passion for the subject continues
to this day and I constantly challenge myself with new areas to further develop my knowledge and
skills. So far I have undertaken several freelance projects including a site for Bridgedales Nutrition
and Nun Cote Nook Campsite.
