About me
I am an energetic, passionate and multi-skilled Graphic Designer with over 10 years’ experience, who has produced high quality work and on-point solutions using multiple platforms for B2B and B2C clients, and I continuously surpass expectations. I am an imaginative, positive and creative professional who is bursting with enthusiasm, and is highly organised. I have an exceptional command of visual and communication design principles, with very strong creative problem-solving, art direction, ideation, conceptual, layout and typographic skills. I like to push boundaries, I think big and I am not afraid to be different. I am looking for a role where I can best use my creative problem-solving skills, critical thinking and conceptual thinking to create extraordinary and inspiring work that delivers beyond what is expected. My references are available upon request.
