About me
Innovation, creativity and the limitless prospects of design energises and inspires me. The ability to connect and communicate effectively both through design and in person is something I pride myself on. I am a motivated, visual thinker who excels at working in a team and enjoys leadership roles. With an eagerness and desire to learn, I strive to constantly improve my skillset, enjoying the challenges I face along the way. I take on responsibility and accountability, I have confidence in my own critical thinking and decision making. Resilience to adversity and learning from mistakes, helps better myself as a person and as a designer.
