What I'm looking for

I am looking for creative roles, digital marketing management, UX/UI design, and roles like that. Retail, manufacturing technology and agency settings are sectors where I’ve shown I have strength in. My ideal job would be something using my skills in graphic design, social media management, and web design.

Lead Graphic Designer and Multimedia Specialist with 10 years experience working in agency, luxury retail, FMCG and manufacturing technology sectors. Skilled in branding and graphic design, digital marketing and multimedia production. Highly proficient in Adobe Creative Cloud, UI/UX design and development, HTML5, CSS3, WordPress and video production with impeccable attention to detail and results driven approach.

I am devoted to details, teamwork and eagerness to learn and contribute in all my work. I believe in striking a balance between creativity and strategy to produce designs that engage and motivate tangible outcomes. In my spare time I enjoy fashion design, the outdoors and caring for animals; this fuels my design creativity and puts soul into every project.
