HelloWelcome to my online portfolio,
The work you see on this site is just a selection from my full portfolio. You'll see digital and print design (pushing pixels), photography and motion – including snippets of animation and documentaries i've created in my showreel. In some cases it is worth noting that not all of the studios I have worked with are happy for their work to be shown on third-party websites therefore respectfully, these items can be viewed upon request. I've tried to keep it as simple as possible, so if there is a particular type of design, image or motion work you would like to see that you cannot find here, please contact me and I can probably find something suitable to show you. Thank you and happy browsing, Deborah. |
About me
I am the founder and owner of Honey Bee Designs and Visions, which I created for freelance projects. Born in Hackney, East London more decades ago than I would like to publish here, I spent most of my youth in the City and surrounding suburbs. After a bit of travelling, I settled near Faversham in Kent several years ago.
I'm a multimedia or integrated graphic designer (depending upon the variation of terminology with which you are familiar!) and photographer, I've been working in the creative industry for more than 30 years. I've been exploring and learning my trade through a variety of creative roles such as 'assistant presentations designer', 'typesetter' and 'creative art worker' (to name a few), working with a plethora of sectors in both in-house and agency studios. I've been 'pushing pixels' for over 23 years and based on this 'ground-up' background and skill set, I have built a solid career as a hands-on creative multimedia graphic designer, with an eye on everything artistic, especially photography. I find immense pleasure in creating a successful design or capturing something unique and beautiful in my images, that I hope the client or subject will love too. My photography encompasses various genres with a focus (ah hem...) on portraiture. Recently I have become a bit of a 'twitcher' with the abundance of wildlife on my doorstep. I also have a passionate interest in dance (having performed myself in the past), music and film and have produced and directed short documentaries and promotional videos for musicians, including live performance. Nitty gritty stuff: Software I use: Adobe CC: InDesign; Photoshop; Illustrator; After Effects; Premiere Pro; Animate; Character Animator and Final Cut Pro; social platforms; Asana; plus some Microsoft stuff. On paper: BA (hons) degree [2.1] in Visual Design and Advertising as well as several other design and digital courses – please contact me if you wish to know more. |
