WHY EMPLOY ME?

SEE LAST PAGE (AFTER CERTIFICATES)

I’m ambitious, loyal and always in search of fresh ideas. I can stay calm under pressure & daunting deadlines. I believe any problem has a solution and I will not give up until it’s resolved.

I have a combined experience of seven years in both photography and design. Currently I’m studying BA in Multimedia via UNISA (part time) and applying relevant techniques and skills to my designing & photography in the visual industry.

DESIGN & PHOTOGRAPHY ARE BOTH DYNAMIC VISUAL MEDIUMS WITH CONTEMPORARY SHIFTING “TRENDS” AND “PHASES”. I INTEND TO KEEP UP...

What personal skill will be to your benifit?

I have the knowledge to combine fine arts with digital designs and produce a multi media experience in both static and audio visual productions. I enjoy training or teaching fellow employees or junior designers new skills to motivate growth, thus also not afraid to learn from others. My current studies exspose me to contemporary arts and fellow designers who inspire me to combine and apply new concepts in my work environment.
