About me

As a Design graduate of a year, my mind is still as fresh and malleable as that of a recent graduate; yet I poses a years worth of real world experience which includes not only customer service and retail, but also catering, manufacturing and industrial packaging.

I have a passion for design and am eager to expand my knowledge and experience of all areas of the field; from graphic design to design theory and analysis.

I am an honest, friendly, and trustworthy individual who prides herself in keeping the customer's/client's needs at the forefront of the task at hand.

I am looking for a position what will challenge me and enable me to develop my skills, whilst working in an environment which encourages team work and personal growth.
