Graphic Design is more than a career to me - it's freedom of expression, an opportunity to help people see their dreams through different eyes. I'm in the business of bringing peoples design and branding visions to life. My career has allowed me to build my personal brand as a respected and skilled graphic designer; through the projects completed at work and those completed in what is currently a side hustle: Finger-print Media. The goal is to one day turn this start-up into a thriving multimedia company that will assist clients in achieving their dreams and making a notable contribution to society. This will be done through programmes that will offer final year students opportunities to gain practical experience, including internships for top talent, to help kick-start their design careers. With 14 years of experience I've gained expertise in:- Brand Identity and Logo Design: Company Logo’s, Business Cards, Letterheads, Office Stationery, Brochures and Promotional Items.- Layout and Print Design: Banners, Posters, Invitations, Programs, Menu’s, Domed Stickers and Catalogues.- Packaging Design: Corporate Clothing, Silk-Screening, Vehicle Branding/Signage, Corporate Gifts, Embroidery.- Web Design: Basic Html 1-5 Pages, Hosting, Updates & Registration.I'm curious by nature, and my chosen passion allows me to innovate on the job and find solutions to complex problems. There's always something new to learn or a different way to look at various design challenges - that is the source of my daily inspiration._Banner Credit: Photo by Emily Bernal on Unsplash
