Hello, I'm Tegan Labes, originally from Wanaka, New Zealand, and a recent graduate of Victoria University of Wellington with a Bachelor's degree in Design Innovation. I'm excited to launch my career in the design industry and am open to relocating wherever the right opportunity takes me. I'm a dedicated and hardworking individual who takes pride in giving my full effort to everything I do. Alongside my design background, I bring over seven years of customer service experience and a strong foundation in customer-facing roles, which has shaped my ability to communicate clearly, think on my feet, and deliver exceptional service. I am very detail-oriented, adaptable, naturally enthusiastic, and I transition seamlessly between tasks while maintaining a positive, upbeat attitude. With a bubbly and outgoing personality, I care about creating meaningful experiences, whether through thoughtful designs that leave an impact or memorable customer interactions.
