Project Manager Design

Creative Director + Project Manager Web + Graphic Designer

I did what was natural and followed both my parents creative path in life. As a person, metaphorically speaking I always look at the glass half full. I have experience working in several countries which has provided me with a wide range of skills and outlook. From production to advertising agencies, from TV to film studios and from retail to corporate environments, I have gained a wealth of knowledge that will be a valuable addition to any team. I am professional and can manage a project from the briefing stage straight to completion. I am also flexible to work in-house or off-site. Presently and for the past five years, I have been mainly working with corporate and financial clients on both print and web projects. I look forward to hearing from you.
