Hi, my name is Dawn Osolinski and I’m a freelance web designer in Leeds with a massive passion for design. I also squeeze in graphic design and copywriting. When asked which is my favourite I’m left pretty speechless. Which is a rarity for me as I’m creative through and through.
Professionally, web design arrived on the scene before graphic design and copywriting but for as long as I can remember I’ve been holding a pencil in one hand and a paint brush in another.
I’m passionate about design and copywriting in a big way. I have an eye for presentation whether it’s typography, composition, usability, and in many cases – all three. I believe you can and must take in these three areas for both design and copywriting. Content is part of the design. Pay attention to the copy and the reader will follow suit.
As a freelance designer and copywriter I can offer flexible pricing due to minimum overheads, since I work locally in Horsforth without an expensive City Centre office location. I work closely with small to medium businesses, creative agencies and freelance developers both local and national.
My experience has spanned across both print and web media, from copywriting for a globally recognised footwear retailer to graphic design for a local car hire broker in Leeds.
I’m happy to hear about new or reoccurring projects which requires a design or copywriting touch. You’ll be happy to hear that I’m familiar with the latest industry standards in software including Photoshop CS5, Illustrator CS5, InDesign CS5, and Fireworks CS5.
Recent design projects have included graphic design for the web, primarily slider content, call to action buttons and contact forms. During the past few months I have been involved with high profile copywriting for an award winning creative agency, namely product and brand descriptions.
I’m very much involved in the local creative community and in doing so I network with highly regarded freelance SEO experts, illustrators, developers, photographers and technical support engineers. If your needs go further than design and copywriting I can happily recommend local creative professionals.
