worked many various clients (Microsoft,

few) and although my skill set is vast, my
greatest expertise revolve in the worlds of
interactive design, video editing, social media,
brand identity design, content creation and
event management. My wish is to combine my
knowledge and experience in these areas,
to deliver the best creative to my employer’s
clients and their audiences. I also love coffee.
• My life is creative design, I love it & I surround
myself in it every day.
In 4 bullet points, I am:
1. Passionate (I absolutely love what I do)
2. Enthusiastic (I want to learn)
3. Sceptical (I think critically)
4. Focused (I have the right attitude)

of age, I’ve had a multitude of experience,
starting my digital knowledge at the age of
18. Since then I have never turned back…
• When it comes to Video Editing, I’ve used
my 9 years experience for work & personal
use. In my time I’ve made two 30 minute
movies, both shown at Showcase Cinema in
front of 500 people. Final Cut X is the main
program I use for all of this. I also create/edit
videos for nightlife brands and small festivals.
• I love to travel and have had the pleasure
of exploring 9 states of the USA, (where part
of my family is from,) and 9 other countries so
far. When I’m not looking at a computer screen
you will find me on my iPhone, at the gym,watching lots of motorsport, traveling, or
listening to music, maybe even all at once.
• So from being so diverse in my experiences,
I’m hardworking, creative, reliable, adaptable,
organised & able to perform under my own
initiative. This helps me perform well at any
task in hand.
