From working to tight deadlines in my years of education & design industry experience I have developed a wide range of transferable skills including being consistently organised, reliable and responsible. I strive to be creative within my work at all times. I have a wide range of work experience where I have learned to be customer focused, friendly and polite yet assertive when required.
