What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a collaborative environment that values creativity and innovation.

I'm a versatile and experienced graphic designer with a strong foundation in digital design and videography. My ability to communicate effectively and work well in both medium to large teams and independently has been a key asset throughout my career. I pride myself on my solid interpersonal skills, which allow me to collaborate seamlessly with colleagues and clients alike.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have honed my skills in UX and front-end design. As a Lead Campaign Designer and Senior Graphic Designer at reputable companies like Nando's and Iconic Media, I have successfully led projects that required creativity and strategic thinking. Currently, I serve as the Head of Design at Hello Marketing, where I continue to push the boundaries of design and innovation.
