Summary
I am a creative individual who thrives in a team setting yet also happy to work on my own. I enjoy the challenge of working in a changing environment that pushes my skills to new heights. I enjoy talking to and dealing with people directly and love to see a project or vision of theirs fully actualised to their complete satisfaction.
