WHY EMPLOY ME?
SEE LAST PAGE (AFTER CERTIFICATES)
I’m ambitious, loyal and always in search of
fresh ideas. I can stay calm under pressure &
daunting deadlines. I believe any problem has a
solution and I will not give up until it’s
resolved.
I have a combined experience of seven years in
both photography and design. Currently I’m
studying BA in Multimedia via UNISA (part
time) and applying relevant techniques and
skills to my designing & photography in the
visual industry.
DESIGN & PHOTOGRAPHY ARE BOTH DYNAMIC VISUAL
MEDIUMS WITH CONTEMPORARY SHIFTING “TRENDS”
AND “PHASES”. I INTEND TO KEEP UP...
What personal skill will be to your benifit?
I have the knowledge to combine fine arts with digital designs and
produce a multi media experience in both static and audio visual
productions. I enjoy training or teaching fellow employees or junior
designers new skills to motivate growth, thus also not afraid to learn
from others. My current studies exspose me to contemporary arts and
fellow designers who inspire me to combine and apply new concepts in
my work environment.
