About me
I am a reliable and adaptable creative thinker with a background in graphic design. My interests lie in idea generation, ad campaigns, experiential events and world-building with art department and set design. I am motivated by projects which engage with contemporary culture, promote positive social change and bring light to unexplored topics, connecting them with different themes in new ways. I aspire to create things that spark conversation, educate in engaging ways, are witty and entertain. Thriving independently and in a team, I pride myself on high personal standards and an honest approach, enjoying adding value to whatever projects I am involved with and within personal relationships. A recent Emotional Capital Report had peers and colleagues list some of my key strengths as being “optimistic” “thoughtful” with a “change-ready mindset” and an “eye for detail”.
