SENIOR GRAPHIC AND WEB DESIGNER

ART IS NOT ABOUT THINKING SOMETHING UP. IT IS THE OPPOSITE - GETTING SOMETHING DOWN. ~ JULIA CAMERON: THE ARTIST’S WAY

GRAPHIC DESIGN, BRANDING, BASIC MARKETING, WEBSITES & PHOTOGRAPHY Advertising is my absolute passion, conceptualising & being able to execute each & every project myself is something to be proud of. A highly talented individual in various areas, pushing to excel beyond each project, never accepting anything less than perfection. Looking to expand my advertising experience, marketing, further my brand building knowledge, whilst feeding my hunger for learning about management for future entrepreneurial work.
