About me

I am an easy-going, fun loving, sport and fitness enthusiast, with a love for all things creative. Best described by one of my previous managers as a Shy extrovert. I have a huge passion for design and creativity and have from a very young age; because of this my knowledge of the creative process is very broad and i feel there is nothing creative that i cannot do. With my love for sport, i am extremely ambitious, persistent and driven; the combination of the two (creativity/sport) make me a formidable member of any team. I have 15 years experience as a designer and 10 years in a senior position / managing a creative team.
