I graduate as a Graphic Designer in 2013. By recruiting me you will get a hardworking, motivated

and determined individual with lots of energy. I enjoy working on group projects, can work

well on my own and have the confidence to cope with pressure. To me a challenging brief is

an opportunity to develop a new idea. I believe a good design should echo the needs of the

user and this helps me communicate my ideas with passion and conviction. I have the skills in

typography and layouts that you would expect at this stage but I am eager to learn my trade. I

have a particular interest in photography which is a hobby I pursue in addition to work.
