My name is Daniel. I am based in Johannesburg, South Africa, and am married with 2 young children.
I’ve been a Graphic Designer for over 15 years, but have been freelancing and working remotely for the past 5 years. During that time I have developed my skills in Graphic design, web design, digital & Social media Marketing, basic video editing, and I’ve worked in the signage industry and the promotional branding industry.
Because of my work in these different fields it has given me a good understanding of branding and how it is applied across different media. I currently work remotely with Twinkl UK, which is a global content creator for educational material and I work within a team of designers, illustrators and editors.
I am an easy going person, I work well in a team or on my own. I know that my age could be seen as a negative, but I believe that it works in my favour, in that I am experienced, and have learned to be adaptable and I believe that I am still young at heart in my energy at work and especially in enjoying life.
I hope that my skills and experience will be beneficial toward this position and look forward to hearing from you.
