About me

I have three years industry experience as a digital artist/retoucher for a leading international photography brand.

I feel my main strengths lie not only in my design work, especially the graphic arts, visual arts, video production, and photography which are the fields I desire to work in, but also in the life skills I have gained through working in these particular design areas. From the experience I have already gained, I can offer a high level of responsibility. I am very good at dealing with my time effectively, and organising my jobs accordingly. I am also competent at engaging with clients and other members of the public to complete a job successfully, and I see good communication as a means to success. As much of the work I have produced to date has been for clients freelance and in a studio environment, I also know and value the importance of a good team dynamic and a successful work ethic.
