A little about me, I have been a graphic designer for 15 years and now currently looking for a new and challenging graphic design role, which will make best use of my creative and conceptual skills​ and I found your job for a graphic designer vacancy extremely exciting.​

An important quality I have is the ability to communicate, both verbally (to clients and co-workers) and visually. I create work that conveys a brand’s vision and solves problems and  I feel I would be a great asset to your company if given the opportunity.

I have my own design studio fully equipped with the latest technology in all Adobe software and can start work immediately.

I am an experienced Graphic designer with a keen, critical eye about style, fonts, colours, spacing, and overall presentation with a sound working knowledge of the up-to-date software applications used in a graphic design industry. I consider myself as very innovative and can rapidly develop new ideas and concepts, leading to creative solutions.

Experienced in working with briefs through to completion and able to demonstrate the highest levels of motivation and organisation required to meet tight deadlines. Possesses excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate with clients and colleagues. I am well travelled, organised, presentable, very accommodating
and love a challenge.
