About me

I completed Master of Arts in Graphic Design at the London Metropolitan University in 2010 and I hold a Bachelor of Applied Arts with Honours (Advertising).

Over the last 3 years, I have gained experience in designing from brand and corporate identity, print ads, magazine layout to exhibition design (roll ups, brochures and catalogues). I have become highly proficient in Adobe CS6 InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat in addition to being extremely familiar with the print production process.

I am able to work swiftly and effectively through all phases of the design process; from research, to concept, to design, and ending in final execution. I meet tight deadlines with ease and if surrounded by altered or stressful work environment, I ensure the final product is delivered to the highest standard.
