2. ABOUT ME
I am an inspired, hardworking and proactive graphic designer with a
love for all things aesthetically pleasing or interesting.
With six years of experience working with clients from all walks of
life, I have learned the wonderful power of self-discipline, motivation
and time management. It has given me the diversity to adapt to any
environment and be an asset to any team. I thrive on challenges and
find innovation fundamental in the ever changing landscape of design.
Productivityis achieved notonlybyworking harderbutworking smarter
through the learning of new skills and tools. Great pleasure is achieved
when you never seize to improve yourself or your circumstances. With
that said I rise to any challenge with enthusiasm, ready to find the best
solution to the ongoing problem called design.
