With many years in the gift industry I am aware of the constraints. I have a lot of experience getting round production problems like remote printing in China for example, which can present serious difficulties if you are not use to distance production.
Companies who've stocked and sold my products: Harrods, Bentalls, WH Smith, Woolworths, New Look, Virgin, Our Price (as was), HMV, and many other independent and regional high street retailers worldwide.
My creativity is very market orientated, that is to say I am very aware of the impact design can make to the bottom line, and can consult with you providing many ideas to save money in production but still retain the spirit of the design. However my biggest skill is making the joke funny, making people laugh makes money and the bigger they laugh the more they spend. Why employ anyone other than a professional comedian who is also a designer?
