What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my blend of digital strategy, creative direction, web and brand design, and technical sales experience in a role that values practical client solutions and business growth.

I founded and operate Cartel Media Solutions, delivering end-to-end web design, graphic design, and brand management for clients. My work includes logo creation, corporate branding, service portfolio development, and brand architecture for Diesel Doctors Garage.

I've also built a strong technical sales background across Advanced Voice Systems, Converged Direct, Talk Fusion, and Acquired Business Solutions. I sold and consulted on CCTV, PABX, NEC, and Aastra solutions while developing leads, supporting onboarding, coordinating technical deployment, and managing CRM-driven sales activity.

I bring hands-on knowledge of light electrical systems, close protection, security, financial trading, and cybercrime forensics to creative and commercial work.
