About me
I am a Design for Industry Graduate from the University of Northumbria
looking for a Creative Advertising, Creative Artworking or Graphic design role.
I have experience in the design industry, having done a three month Graphic
Design placement with highly acclaimed company Paragon Creative. Completing
this degree has developed my qualities in all areas, specifically Adobe Creative
Suites which I have become very experienced with, working with Photoshop,
Indesign and Illustrator. The degree has taught me to work to tight deadlines
and presenting my work to a high standard by becoming a perfectionist at layout
of boards. Creative thinking gives me the ability to think outside the box where
others would stay narrow minded. I bring an enthusiasm and a thirst to succeed
and make a project truly special.
