Summary

Whether we like to admit it or not, first impressions are based on the way something looks and I believe a strong visual impact is what every business needs to be successful. I am an ambitious, determined and positive person with an attentive attitude towards work. In the past year I have taken on extra freelance design work via Upwork and for 2 commercial print companies, in a bid to expand my portfolio and design skills. More than anything, I love people to love my work and therefore always strive to achieve the best.
