PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

I am an accomplished, artist and junior graphic designer. I leverage strong communication and leadership skills to effectively resolve problems and provide superior customer service and I am comfortable working in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments as part of a team or on an individual basis. I consider myself a dedicated and goal orientated individual, who always strives to learn more and to deliver more than expected. I am known for building strong working relationships and I am committed to being a confident and respected member in my environment.

I have studied various courses such as Photography, Design Techniques (More based on art and the history behind it) and Design Techniques Graphic designing.

I have knowledge with the Adobe Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign) as well as Canva. I am a fast learner; therefore, I would love to learn new skills and programs.

In my spare time, I am a freelance artist and love to paint, draw and do anything free-hand related.
