What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a growth-driven, innovative environment that values continuous development—where I can deliver high-quality visual solutions, enhance organizational productivity, and contribute brand design, marketing visuals, and creative production leadership.

I’m a creative, detail-oriented Graphic Designer and Illustrator with an HND in Graphic Art and a strong background across education and production environments. I’ve taught Computer Studies and Fine Art, then focused on delivering high-quality design work for wedding cards, brochures, flyers, branding materials, and fashion/print layouts.

I’ve led creative teams as a Head Graphic Designer, supervised graphic production, and produced client-ready shirt layout previews to match final sewing outcomes. Alongside that, I manage brand visual identity and marketing visuals, and I support growth with animation, photo editing, video editing, and AI prompt creation using tools like Adobe Photoshop, CorelDRAW, Corel 3D Studio, and Google AI Studio.
