What I'm looking for

I am looking for photo editing or graphic design roles where I can apply Adobe skills, grow technically, work collaboratively, and contribute to visual marketing and real estate imaging.

I am a National Diploma graduate in Art & Design and Photography from the College of Cape Town, with hands-on experience in photo editing, graphic design and on-set photography. I have worked in roles ranging from cashier and packer to photo processor and intern, building practical skills across Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and Illustrator.

My professional experience includes a graphic design internship, an EPWP contract supervisor role with the City of Cape Town, and photo processing for real estate assignments, where I delivered consistent, reliable edits and managed visual assets. I bring organization, time management and a strong creative drive to every project.

I am motivated to grow in the photo editing and design industry, contribute to visual marketing and digital campaigns, and continuously improve my technical craft while collaborating effectively within teams.
