About me

Hi there,

As a person with over three years experience in graphic design as well as a strong affinity with the magazine, fashion and retail industry, I present myself as a designer in search for a creative role here in London.

I am reliable, motivated, enthusiastic, sociable, a team player and have a great eye for detail. With a passion for retouching, high end fashion, photography and colour I enjoy exploring the endless possibilities of ideas to find a solution. I am inspired by design that is not only sexy and sophisticated but also intelligent.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Tania
