With three years of university experience studying graphic design, I am a versatile, mixed-media designer who is eager to advance these abilities in a formal position. Whether it is problem solving, developing visual narratives, working through a creative process to develop a well-rounded design idea, or designing work in a digital or physical format I strive to create outstanding designs. I am a productive, self-motivated and driven individual who thrives in a creative environment. Previous job roles have allowed me to succeed in team environments, trust my own abilities and develop my skills through new experiences and roles. I thrive in both a teamwork, bustling environment within front of house, and in a solo, self-motivated and hard-working atmosphere in the kitchen.
