About

I have over four years agency experience and also work as a freelance graphic designer from my home studio. I have produced a range of design and illustrative work for clients in both the UK and the States.

My design style is both clean and functional, and interactive work uses tidy design and code with valid HTML and CSS that should degrade gracefully.

I am currently available for work in WA, USA.

Please get in touch if you have position or project you feel is suitable. You can download my resume here (.pdf) or as a Word (.doc) here.

You can check my blog here and get me on twitter.com @colinelliot.
