at her lovely!

I am 21 years of age and design excites me. From the

simplest of annual reports to a full-on brand identity, I

am always happy with a design project.

I am quite happy to work away on my own but I am

most definitely a people-person . Working in a team

or dealing with clients is one of my key assets.

I have a positive and professional work ethic and

my strengths lie in my attention to detail, sticking to

set deadlines, brainstorming ideas and my overall

enthusiasm to work and design. I also believe that

I posses strong core skills such as spelling and

grammar, numeracy and problem solving.

I welcome any opportunity that allows me to utilise my

skills a designer within the creative industries.
