About me
I am an aspiring creative individual with a strong passion for the new digital age. I am looking for the opportunity to progress my career in design or communications. I am a determined, reliable, passionate individual driven by success and personal fulfillment. My ideal job would be working within the design industry alongside or as a designer in south east England.
Outside of my day job I am a casual freelance designer doing small projects to build a portfolio. Through my love of art and computing I have also learnt to utilise a computer to its full advantage and am confident with the Microsoft software packages as well as Adobe Packages on both Windows and MAC computers.
I love to learn and take pride in my academic achievements as well as personal ones such as being a self taught bass guitar player and achieving my driver’s license in July 2013.
In the future I would like to think I can set roots in a well establish company and progress that career and achieve a well established position within my role.
