I’m a highly motivated perfectionist and team player who leads by example in setting and maintaining the highest possible standards of output. I thrive under pressure and most enjoy working in fast-paced, highly demanding environments with challenging deadlines to meet on multiple simultaneous projects.
I’m thoroughly proficient in Adobe Creative Suite and MS Office.
I’m a creative and strategic thinker with an eye for detail and excellent organisational skills. I enjoy working collaboratively with other designers and members of broader communications/marketing teams but I also have the ability to work independently and proactively.
