What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in a creative environment where I can grow my skills and contribute to exciting projects.

I am a dedicated and hardworking individual with a National Diploma in Visual Communication, specializing in graphic design. My educational background has equipped me with a strong foundation in design principles, drawing, and various design programs, including Adobe Creative Suite. I am passionate about creating visually appealing designs and have gained practical experience through various freelance projects and part-time roles.

Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse environments, including as a workshop and warehouse admin at Kangra Coal and as a consultant at Vodacom. My recent role as a Junior Graphic Designer at Menar allowed me to apply my skills in a professional setting, where I contributed to various design projects. I am eager to take on new challenges and prove my capabilities in a permanent role.
