To me, design is another language allowing effectively communicated messages to reach and impact a community. It is that belief which leads my sense of responsibility, and therefore motivates me to solve ever-changing problems as a designer. My ambition is to use my skills and dedication to acquire a position with the benefit to be creative while producing meaningful work as I develop in experience.
