Robyn Harms Graphics & Imaging
Who am I? When it comes to ‘fright or flight’ I’m defiantly a ‘flight’ sort of person. I will defiantly put my all into anything that I do and like to get stuck in. I’m really passionate about hand-rendred print processes and the ways in which that and digital design can work well together and don’t necessary have to be enemies. I am a very laid back easy going individual who is happy just to get on with the task in hand. I feel I am very much someone who adapts very well to new situations, I tend to take each challenge at face value.
