About me
Fiona is my name and design is my game. I do what I love as I believe it is the only way one can do great work is to love what you do.I started off solely as a theatre practitioner upon graduation but found that my skills were transferable to the retail industry. An all-round designer, I have the skills and experience to manage projects from the initial brainstorming of ideas, to design, production and installation. This includes sourcing for materials, designing and making props, installing windows, bespoke in-store displays, new store openings, re-mods and press days.I also have experience in sight specific theatre, designing and making large scale puppets and scenic painting.
I love working with my hands, I have superb craftsmanship and I am able to work in 2D and 3D. Handy with hand tools and power tools, the jigsaw, power drill, impact driver and dremel are my close friends. I am fluent in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign and I also have basic knowledge in SketchUp, and AutoCAD.
