Jonathan Roberts

Creative thinker who embraces new ideas and challenges. I have an excellent working knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud particularly Premiere, Photoshop, After Effects and Indesign, having used Adobe products for over 20 years. I've also made use of Character Animator, Adobe XD and Adobe Aero. I’ve also spent time investigating and trailing software such as Zapworks, BlippAR, Unity, Blender, Construct and H5P.

I've worked in and around the education sector for 16 years, including working as a lecturer and course manager at an FE college teaching Media Production, but also lecturing on art and games design courses.

My most recent role was at a commercial radio station which involved public speaking, presenting information to clients and developing ideas for the purpose of video and audio creation/editing, digital imagery, social media output as well as course creation using LMS and e-learning software such as Articulate 360.

Previous technical experience includes setting lighting for school theatres, music performances and TV studio set-up, working with a range of audio devices, overseeing basic networking for both PC and Mac devices.

In a freelance capacity I have run creative writing workshops, training for social media creation, co-designed websites and carried out audio editing for a well-known magazine.
