About me
I'm a passionate graphic designer based in London. I have a long experience on multiple fields of graphic design, and I have worked as a freelancer and part of a team. My best skill is my dedication, and be organized with my tasks, which enables me to be involved in different projects at a time. I try to approach all the projects from a different point of view, looking for innovation, but always thinking in terms of objetives and functionality. I normally focus my energy on the concept or idea which must be behind the project, that's why I always start with the "why" before getting to the "what". I’d also add that I’m really open minded person, who likes collaboration and a good work ambient which helps with the ideas generation. As John Cleese said, “creativity is not a talent, it is a way of operating”. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this.

On the other hand, it is also a possessive pronoun that refers to the possessio
