About me

A creative, values-driven, adaptable and articulate post-graduate Graphic Designer & Illustrator looking to broaden skills and to take a wider range of career paths into consideration.

Flexible and responsive to current social, media and retail trends, with a disposition towards new, progressive ideas and positive causes.

Often presenting a calm and pleasant face to others, will often set high personal expectations and be equally as highly motivated to achieve them through self-review and organisational skills - assimilated and consolidated through a wealth of experience developed from observing and working closely with others.
