I work collaboratively with my clients and engage critically with what they are doing. I listen to what they want, offer professional advice about how their product could work even better, then go away and get on with it. I am an associate with a very busy and highly regarded graphic design agency in Canberra. Please see my website (www.catrionalyons.com) for work examples and client testimonials.
