ABOUT ME
I'm Dan Frost, a creative artworker and CONTENT DESIGNER from Watford.
I am a highly driven, motivated, experienced, hardworking and ambitious team player, who places great importance in quality, performance and dedication. I pride myself in having a good eye for design, detail and accuracy. I have a good working knowledge of design procedures for both print and web-based material, as well as high quality retouching abilities of images and photography – for online, print and animation.
I’m also strong in the ability of developing projects from initial step through to final production, ensuring that all work is effective, appropriate and delivered to the highest standard. I’m also experienced with working alongside other designers, account executives and web developers.
When I’m not spending my time crunching the keyboard of my Mac, I spend my spare time running around my almost 9-year old daughter and working as an Inspector for the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) on boxing shows around London and the Southern area. I’m also a keen and long-time Pool player, Film fan and all round socialite.
