I am a talented, ambitious, and hardworking individual, with
broad skills and experience in brand development. Furthermore, I am adept at handling multiple tasks daily competently, and at working well under pressure.
Creating unique, modern, and functional creative that is suited specifically to the client’s ask is something that I am very passionate about, and love to deliver industry-disruptive work. A key to being a creative director is communication; whether it be creating for the project or building strong relationships with people working on the project, to deliver the best results. ABOUT.
