Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in creative content development, visual design, and project management. I thrive on collaborating with internal stakeholders to understand their creative needs and deliver visually compelling solutions. My experience spans various roles, from National Service Personnel to Graphic Design Intern, where I developed templates and creatives for digital media.
