Helen Greenwood
Passionate about good design.
Bursting with ideas and creativity.
Five years industry experience.
Always looking to gain new insights and skills.
Looking to relocate from the UK to New Zealand for a new experience in the design industry. Bringing a range of skills and experience in advertising, point of sale, website design, magazine design, branding, direct mail, exhibition graphics and brochure design.
A huge U2 fan, some would say slightly obsessed as you will always find me on ebay in a bidding war for some memorabilia or rare vinyl! I do listen to a range of other artists too and a regular attendee at gigs. Last year I discovered I like camping, despite having to leave the hairdryer and straighteners at home. Photography is an interest of mine and having had the opportunity to art direct some photoshoots in my job, some would describe me as a tourist as you’ll always find me with my camera to hand. Like most people I love to travel and see the sights and last year I conquered Snowdon twice and Ben Nevis is next on my list.
