What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative role combining editorial writing and graphic design where I can drive audience engagement, grow digital presence, and develop creative content workflows.

I am a qualified content developer and graphic designer with over 6 years of experience producing edited, SEO-aware web content and compelling visual layouts. I have worked as a news writer, sub editor, anchor, and freelancer delivering accurate, engaging stories and polished designs.

My background includes reporting for major news outlets, content development to grow CRM and social channels, and hands-on graphic design using Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, XD and Premiere. I have coordinated events and covered high-profile festivals, demonstrating strong communication, teamwork and attention to detail.

I seek roles where I can combine writing and visual storytelling to drive audience engagement, improve content workflows, and contribute to a collaborative editorial or creative team.
