WHY SHOULD YOU HIRE ME? Third, my social research working approach.

First, my education background.

Graduated from graphic design degrees, has formed me into a graphic driven personal. In my undergraduate, I was taught to solve the briefs that are aimed for more commercial and business driven creatively. Whilst in my postgraduate course, I was taught about social research, originality, authenticity and how graphics can be use to increase the sense of well being.

Second, my proven environment.

skills

in

the

working

I have a good command of most Adobe Creative packages (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, After effects) and 3D rendering software (C4d) that is up to industry standard. During my master course I have also been working with people from various design backgrounds, which has allowed me to gain knowledge beyond graphic design. e.g. lighting, interior,exhibition, and interaction design.

As an environmental graphic designer, my principle is not only to design something that is visually appealing, but create solutions that respond to the needs of people. Therefore, in most of my recent work I try to gather public opinion and feedback so that the end solutions is both fit for purpose and of maximum benefit to the user.

Last but not least, my personality.

I tend to be cheerful in most situations, even when a deadline is approaching. I can work under pressure, I’m flexible with working independently or as part of a team. Although it’s said that creative people tend to be very messy in their work environment, I am quite organised and always follow my ‘to do’ list.
