T
his is a short highlight of my mid-term experience in the fields of advertising, creativity and oriented performance. I’m a highly skilled and creative graphic designer with 14 years experience working across a broad spectrum of design disciplines. I’m an enthusiastic, motivated and organised team player with proven track record of originating and concluding media projects. I have a deep interest in visually communicating core messages in a cutting edge, sophisticated fashion. I’m a talented bilingual designer who accepts challenges with responsibility and realism. I look forward to the prospect of working in an environment that will recognize and reward my particular skills. My passion is for visual communication techniques that meticulously facilitate the exchange of information from media to end user, taking great care not to let design obscure or confuse core messages.
