Hi, I’m Marty. I am an Adobe Generalist currently instructing at the No. 1 Art and Design university in the world, with over a decade of top-tier software expertise. • Highly proficient in Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and Lightroom. • Work skilfully across Premiere Pro and After Effects on a daily basis. My main specialisms include photographic retouching, photographic restoration, social media graphics, digital printing, digital illustration, vectorisation, booklet layout, 2D animation, and file formatting, all of which are designed for professional outputs. I offer clean, polished, and technically sound design, striving to convert your creative ideas into something both beautiful and functional. Got an AI-generated concept needing a human touch? I can help by recreating it! Several years working in the higher education industry has enabled me to flexibly jump between concepts and applications, from producing vector artwork suitable for laser cutting, to social media advertisement and publications, to even 3D printing. My technical work informs and runs parallel to my own artistic practice. I am a storyteller working through surrealist animation, combining digital processes with tactile, analogue textures. If you are interested in incorporating a hand-drawn style and physically sourced materials into your digital result, this is also a service I can provide. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss your project needs. I look forward to working together.
