About me

In my past experience as a designer and photographer, I gained the experience of working with Adobe Creative Suite and digital print. Most notably, I have designed two books (available on request) using Adobe software and InDesign. In my MFA training in Goldsmiths, I focus myself on kinetic art and acquired the skill of computer programming, woodworking and metalworking. Therefore, I believe that I can provide an attractive skill set to art and design related field. Additionally, as a practicing artist, I have been participating different exhibitions, festivals and residencies. Having worked in various cities and collaborated with diverse institutions and individuals, I have been very successful in building trust with other professionals as well as serving as instrument in shaping a productive team. I am confident that my contributions would be a valuable asset to your company.

My CV, which I have enclosed for your review, contains additional details about my professional achievements. I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you to discuss the qualifications I would bring to your organization. Thank you for your consideration.
