I am an adaptable, creative and ambitious individual having undertaken a number of roles focused on and leading to a career where I can use and develop my proven design and organisational skills. My experiences have provided me with many transferable skills and a broad understanding of various working environments and the expectations therein. I am confident in my communication skills and understand the importance of nonverbal communications when building a rapport with clients efficiently, meeting the deadlines, gaining their trust, maintaining a positive and approachable attitude to clients as well as working relationships at all times. I give 100% for the job I do, and consider myself to be an effective team player with an analytical approach to solving problems. I am passionate about design and I have a strong awareness of brand development and the power of branding. This creative side to my character has always been useful to me in my career to date and provides me with a keen eye for detail.
