Background: I completed my BA in French and History of Art at the University of Wales, UK, then went onto do an MA in History of Ceramics. For a while I worked in museums but then changed career and started designing books and other printed materials, never losing my interest in all things French. Now, settled in the south of France, I am working as both a designer and translator and loving it!

Proofreading (English)
DTP and Graphic design – brochures, books, leaflets, logos…
Quark Xpress, Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Dreamweaver…
