TOOLBELT
PHOTOSHOP, ILLUSTRATOR & INDESIGN
My three amigos & daily companions. I spend more time with these programs than with my partner.
AFTER EFFECTS
My new favourite tool for design, but moving. I did a short course in 2015 then took on Disney's animated billboards, social advertising and video localisation.

A late addition to the toolbelt, but one that keeps me thinking. I use GWD to build html ads (as seen in my portfolio).
ADOBE XD
My favourite way to set up website designs to ensure they are responsive and easily translatable to development.

I use Dreamweaver to build eDMs and both DW and Sublime to update existing code.
