About me
I’m an enthusiastic and detail orientated designer with an aptitude for learning and completing projects in a timely and professional manner. Having 3+ years of experience working in a fast paced environment as a product developer, I have refined my understanding of the commercial design process. I’m down to earth and sociable with great teamwork abilities, yet serious and critic when necessary. I am seeking a design role with a forward moving organization to utilize and build upon my development and design experience.
