With over 10 years experience in graphic and web design, for individuals, charities, and corporate sector clients, I'm a highly intuitive designer. I'm happy to work to very tight brief or give you creative input - whatever your project requires. My motto is 'the client is always right', so as a designer I will never impose my personal style, and only input my experience to get the right result for your needs. The standard and quality of my work is high enough that in 10 years I have never had to advertise - all my clients have come to me through word of mouth, and returned many times. Alongside my design skills, I have extremely solid administrative skills, with a high level of experience in all MSOffice packages and copy writing.

I've hired Michael a couple of times now and would do so in a heartbeat. He's versatile and very responsive as well as upfront about his skills and availability.

I've used Michael before for a contest and he is professional and an amazing designer. I would have no hesitation in hiring him again; he is detail oriented, timely and efficient!

Fantastic designer. I can\'t wait to work with him again. I have to say he initiated a lot of conversation, had pertinent questions and wanted feedback - something that was very appealing. He followed the instructions very well and understood a detailed brief. Thank you! Definitely want to hire this freelancer again when I need more layout.
