What I'm looking for
I am a motivated Graphic Designer with a strong technical background and a commitment to delivering elegant and simple designs. My journey in design began with a keen interest in creating visually appealing graphics that resonate with clients' needs. Over the years, I have honed my skills through various freelance projects, where I received 100% positive feedback from clients, showcasing my dedication to excellence.
In my role as an Assistant Graphics Designer at Lavinda Limited, I improved my collaboration skills while organizing drafts and final designs. Leading a team of 15 youths at the Science Innovators Club, I taught Graphic Design and organized workshops that fostered teamwork and creativity. My internship at Artworx Inc. further enhanced my work ethic and communication skills, allowing me to adapt to customer needs effectively.
