I am an illustrator, writer, fashion, jewellery, costume designer and digital photographer.

As a fashion designer, I am a past winner of the WDA's (Welsh Development Association) Designer of the Year, awarded at the Savoy hotel in London.  The prize was awarded to me by David Emmanuel (of Princess Diana's wedding dress fame), and Shakira Caine - wife of the actor Michael Caine. The actress Sian Phillips bought my entire collection!

I have been writing for a number of years, specializing in creative writing.  I have written a number of children's stories used regularly by local schools and optioned by the National channel for Wales, S4C.  
I have written scripts for television and radio, as well as copy for advertisements both editorial and for broadcast. I am also experienced in proof reading and editing and you will find me diligent and deadline aware.

I have just completed a set of jewellery designs for a retail jeweller which brought the client and Arts & Business award presented at a glittering event in Cardiff's Millennium Centre at the beginning of May.

As you can probably see from my profile, I thrive on diversity!

I have a first class honours degree in Media Studies with work experience in the fields of film and television. In 2007 I was awarded 3rd place in the European wide 'Euro Script Writing' Competition. The prizes were announced at the Cheltenham Script Writer's Festival attended by industry professionals form around the globe.

I like to think that I have unique ideas and am able  find an alternative perspective for my clients, thereby highlighting the individuality of the project.  My clients satisfaction is of paramount importance to me and I am willing to make any necessary revisions to guarantee total satisfaction.

Please feel free to contact me if you need a freelancer, as I rarely turn down work opportunities.

Many thanks for your time

Jo Conti.
