2 Lundy Lane

 I am an artist and graphic designer with over 20 years experience. As a practicing fine artist, I have solid drawing skills and have been combining digital and traditional media for years. Recently graduating from triOS College, I have a base in Flash animation, HTML5, CSS and Javascript.  
I have worked on some game design, both electronic and board game, designing character art backgrounds and user interface.
Having worked at the London Free Press for many years, I am able to work under tight deadlines, and my experience freelancing means I am able to work with minimal supervision. I am interested in both full or part time work, as well as contract positions.
