In addition to this very comfortable with the Adobe suite and pick up new skills quickly. I spend time actively learning new software and keeping up to date with changing trends in design and creativity.
Within the creative agencies, I was responsible for a number of other things such as account management, allocating and working with budgets, working closely with clients, negotiating prices and managing expectations and outcomes.
