who is elpats design ?

photo justin staple After completing my A levels in the UK, I moved to France where I lived for 10 years. During this time I studied at a School of Fine Art in Bordeaux and obtained a Batchelor Degree in Graphic Design. I subsequently established myself as a freelance graphic desginer, working with a variety of clients in the Bordeaux region until early 2007.
Seeking to broaden my knowledge and experience of graphic design, I have recently moved to Bristol. Here I am continuing to work as a freelance graphic designer, but I am also looking to join a Bristol based design agency.
