About me

I am a highly creative individual with a passion for the arts. I have over 7 years of experience in digital design, art installations, and workshops. My main focus as a visual artist is to create engaging and memorable identities for events, brands, and spaces. I am also a skilled project manager with experience managing creative projects. I have a proven track record of successfully delivering projects on time and within budget. I am using The Dots to connect with more people in the industry and find new creative opportunities.
