I am a software trainer, designer, video editor & surfer.
I have over 15 years experience designing on both Mac and Windows platforms. I work with clients who need a designer that can bring the technical experience which will enable them to take control of their own projects.
I can help to bring your design costs down by training you to update and edit your own content.
If you’d like to chat to me about a project or course just drop me an e-mail at design@benhalsall.com .
