What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to utilize my artistic skills while fostering community connections and personal growth.

As a dedicated artist and muralist, I have spent the last few years honing my craft and contributing to my community through various art projects. My journey began with self-employment, where I sold my paintings and exhibited my artworks locally. One of my proudest achievements was painting a mural for a Pro-Life Baby Saver campaign in Umhlali, which allowed me to combine my artistic skills with a cause close to my heart.

In addition to my artistic endeavors, I have gained valuable experience in sales and marketing through various roles, including as a part-time sales representative for C'est La Vie and Circulution. These positions have equipped me with strong client relationship skills, adaptability, and a deep understanding of inventory management. I thrive in environments that allow me to connect with people and build lasting relationships.
