Deidre Tavares

@DeidreTavares

As a self-motivated and creative problem solver, I enjoy the challenges of a dynamic fast-paced work environment. I excel at balancing time and resources, and take great pride in producing quality work. The knowledge I’ve gained from operating a small design business coupled with experience of working with various small to medium businesses, has sharpened my ability to adapt quickly and work efficiently as part of a team as well as independently.

Testimonials “Creative, Funky, Cool, Elegant, Committed, Delivers..... These are only a few words that describes the wonderful working relationship us as Optus Brands the distributors for Kodak has with Deidre Tavares. We have had a wonderful working relationship now for over 10 years and have just grown from strength to strength and at times standing back in awe of the creative efforts and good work that has come out of our strategic planning and creative efforts. No job is too big or too small for Deidre and she tackles each one with the same amount of pride and energy and we are always guaranteed of only her best work. The business relationship is so strong that when even given a brief over the phone, Deidre will design it exactly what we envisaged.

Thanks Deidre, you rock!”
