I am a friendly, enthusiastic individual who strives to succeed and surpass expectations. Throughout my work experience and time at University, I have worked on a wide range of projects and have shown my versatility and ability to work well within a team, as well as confidence in assuming responsibility for individual work. I have also developed a wide range of skills including an excellent grasp of the Adobe Suite, 3D Modelling software and 2D drafting software as well as excellent communication and interpersonal skills. I am a quick learner and enjoy the challenge of tackling new and unfamiliar tasks.
