About me
I am hardworking, keen and conscientious with excellent time keeping. With a degree in Product Design with honors and with 7 plus years of diverse retail sales and management experience I feel I can be a valuable part of your team. I enjoy sharing my ideas with people and am always open to constructive criticism. When working within a team I am a key player, I work well, I listen to others and always have plenty of ideas to share, motivation and friendly competition are a must and it drives my passion for creativity and allows me to reach my goal every time. With 5 years’ worth of physical and documented presentation experience and the ability to begin to convey my ideas successfully I found achievement on numerous occasions, one of which took me to China to compete in a collaboration design completion representing my university.
Projects
- Designer SketchbookFor my First and Second year of University I had to choose a designer and focus, research and replicate their artwork in order to appreciate the form and design and also learn how to create beautiful designs and skills within the digital realm. All of my artwork was replicated from 'Cosmic Motors' - By Daniel Simon, a book I still treasure. I created all of the artwork by hand by re scaling the images myself via sketch work. I then imported my fine line work into both Illustrator and Sketchbook
