Ann Dadd
Born and based in Southampton, I am an organised and conscientious graphic designer / illustator and more recently a teacher. Graduated in 2009 from Winchester School of Art with a BA in Graphic Arts, 2010 with an MA in Design Communication and a love of research. Graduated from the University of Portsmouth with a PGCE (Professional Postgraduate Certificate in Education). I have a creative background and highly developed fine-art illustration and textiles skills set.
I have 9 years experience of working within a design environment, including 6 years of
working within corporate guidelines. I have experience in all aspects of design
including: fashion design, textiles, client and printer liaison, concepts and roughs, colour theory through to final artwork.
I aim to capture attention and to make the viewer take a longer, closer look.
