My imagination and commercial exposure has provided me with an insight into logo design and I love creating logos and packaging. A surface pattern designer who is inspired by the world around me and especially my grand children. As in nature, my designs can be bold, muted, simple or sophisticated.   I love working with my own photographs and digital media as well as hand drawn designs. I am proficient in the use of Paintshop Pro, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and I am a keen photographer. hide
