About me
I am a reliable and hard working person with fantastic professional and creative skills. One of my many strengths is my organisation and time management skills allowing me to work towards multiple deadlines in a busy working environment. Every task or project I am given I always give 100% to with excellent attention to detail and on many occasions, I am given additional responsibilities to manage.
Utilising my design background, I am able to manage in-house artwork projects such as logo development, company assists and promotional materials and email campaigns. I have been using the Adobe programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator & InDesign efficiently for work and for personal projects at home.
I am always keen to develop and enhance my knowledge and am eager to learn new skills.
