20 years in the making
|
After another year, feeling on top of the world aged 20, I took the plunge into setting up my own business. I built up a customer base and started to produce my own poster and greeting card designs, as well as securing further licensed product contracts which allowed me to be responsible for handling official artwork from such properties as Disney, Pixar, 20th Century Fox, BBC, Comedy Central, DC Comics, Marvel and New Line Cinema.
I'll never forget seeing one of my own poster designs being purchased in a shop by a young boy.
For seven years I designed original posters and greeting cards, created logos and branding for a number of customers and small businesses and continued to work with licensed products. The licensing production company, www.scandecor.se, based in Sweden, eventually trained an in-house designer to handle their artwork. This gave me a perfect opportunity to return to a studio.
Two more years in a studio environment brought me up to date with advances in graphic design and print, sharpened my instincts and put me in a position to learn even more aspects of design in a variety of industries. Working for www.taylorbloxham.co.uk allowed me to learn from their 80+ years of experience in printing, assist photoshoots for both models and products, and to design for some extremely huge customers.
Soon, as described on the About Us page, an unbelievable and unique opportunity arose and I embraced this whole-heartedly. Not only do I manage TWF and get to work with some amazing customers around the globe, I am also an integral part of Swift Technology Group.
