Debbie in a few words
I am a graphic designer based in Stevenage, Herts. I have just started freelancing (Jan 23) after being at a company for a little under 28 years. I have over 23 years experience in graphic design with the same company which was very much brand restricted. Now I am venturing out on my own to let my creative flair run wild. I am most proficient in In-Design layouts which does incorporate Photoshop and also simple logos and illustrations in Illustrator. Recently I have been using Adobe Fresco and created some nice paintings. I also have basic knowledge in Premier Pro and After Effects.
