I was required to draw information graphics to accompany news stories of the day. I am used to working under pressure starting and finishing a project on the same day. I have also worked on longer projects. My work demands me to be flexible due to daily changes in work load. I find the work exciting, as I never know what I am doing from one day to the next. The Daily Mail is known as the toughest newspaper to work for on Fleet Street and maybe the world. I have learned to be fast and accurate in my work. I left to be with my family in Germany. I am able to use a wide range of graphics software including: Adobe Illustrator CS6, Quark, Indesign CS6, and Photoshop CS6. I have learned to work in a team and on my own. I am able to make good use of the internet for researching projects. I am used to having my graphics appear online on a regular basis. I am able to deal with people over the phone.

After thirteen years working in newspapers and magazines I am looking for a new challenge. I want to further my career by widening my knowledge of the industry by taking on new duties and learning new skills.
