About

I have a flair for vibrant graphic design both for print and for the web. I can quickly understand a client brief. I keep my knowledge and expertise current with what is trending and I am able to adapt my designs accordingly. Balancing quality and quantity on deadline is what motivates me. I am a confident communicator both written and verbally.
