About syster
Without the nuts
a freelance Graphic Designer based in Brighton East Sussex. I've been passionate about design since the age of ten and been working in the web design industry for over a decade.
I'd describe myself as a creative ideas driven designer, and I always try my best to produce beautiful work that keeps both my clients and myself happy.
I love what I do and wouldn't want to produce anything I didn't feel was up to my high standards.
I take the same approach to everything I care about in life - family, mountainbikingKindly supported by Rayment cycles, the best bike shop in Brighton!, snowboarding, skateboarding... on occasion, health. If you don't put 100% in you won't get 100% out.
But enough about me ... what about you? Drop me a line to discuss design, your business, your ideas...
