What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on graphic design and print production role where I can apply large-format and sublimation expertise, grow in prepress/production responsibilities, and contribute to a collaborative team focused on quality and timely delivery.

I am a graphic designer specializing in print origination and production, with hands-on experience in large-format and sublimation printing.

Since 2021 I have progressed through roles at CPL Zimbabwe, Priority Projects Publishing, Defined Media and currently at CNFA, working as a DTP operator and print machine/operator specialist. I routinely manage DTP workflows and operate print machinery to deliver finished print products.

I hold a National Diploma in Design for Print and a National Certificate in Applied Art & Design from Harare Polytechnic, which underpin my technical and creative approach to print design.

I bring practical production experience, strong attention to detail and a commitment to quality. I am looking to contribute to a busy print or design team where I can take projects from design through to final production.
