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. An aspect of the creative field that resonates with me is the ability to educate and create new and innovative concepts
