About me

I graduated from Central Saint Martins in June 2007 and I have over 5 years work experience. I am widely interested in the world of advertising and the effects it has on popular culture. Having previously worked in similar roles, I can deal with many practical aspects of the job and I know about all the hard work that goes behind any successful project. I can easily say that being able to work in such environment would be for me both challenging and rewarding. My work experience highlights my ability to deal with clients and business associates alike in person and over the telephone. I possess outstanding organisational skills. I am a great communicator in both written and verbal form and I excel in visual presentations. I am disciplined and focused in all aspects of my work, dynamic and hard working, with particular abilities to relate to new colleagues and integrate myself within a new work environment.

I am proficient in the use of Apple and Windows operating systems as well as MS Office. I'm highly skilled in the use of the Adobe Creative Suite and in 3D CAD. The portfolio attached it's the result of many months hard work. It covers both ATL and digital and the marriage between the two ever-converging mediums. I have a keen eye for everything that's new and groundbreaking and I am always on the lookout for cutting-edge trends and technologies.

In my spare time I am a guest blogger at neversaycool.com, where I write regularly about advertising and design. I'm also passionate about art, in fact, I produce my own work, I have had illustrations featured on 'Garageland' Art Magazine (December 2010 Issue) and I have exhibited some of my paintings at 'Showcase London' and other shows around Europe (May 2010, June 2012). Last, but not least I am fanatical about world travel, having taken a year out (May 2010 to April 2011), I have visited countries as far as Japan, Indonesia, U.S.A., Egypt and the African continent, always on the lookout for new experiences and mixing with the locals in order to learn new and amazing things and share different points of views. Please feel free to contact me here or on my mobile .

Looking forward to your answer.

Carlo Formisano.
