MY STORY

I

am an aspiring Multimedia Designer with a Major Passion for Art.

At the age of 8 I was involved in a horrid car accident which left me bed ridden for months with major head injuries , I had nothing but a Pencil and a Sketch pad . In hospital I drew for hours upon hours leaving all my visitors amazed at the skill and Talent I've developed .

“”

When I turned 9 my parents bought me a computer. Coming from humble beginnings I had no internet so I used to play around on paint and eventually when I reached Matric in High School got my hands on Adobe Photoshop.

hardwork/talent Ever since I had discovered photoshop It was from that very moment I decided I will be a Graphic Designer and pursued my Goals . Although graphic design is how I make my money I see myself as a Multimedia designer because I have many other skills than a basic graphic designer. “I acknowledge that talent

MY Strengths Well basically all designers can do the simple things like deep etching, layout, others is: I have passion and love for what I do I’ve gotten an integrated diploma in Graphic design , Fine art and 2D animation which really works hand in hand and is a major advantage - Art was always in me it is my gift and my purpose to share it with the world - I can sit and design from scratch , “NOT GOOGLE DEPENDANT” - I do Web Design (wordpress , wix etc) - I have a knack for clothing design, alot of the designs I’ve done are viral in it’s own industry - I have the ability to liase with clients, make sales not just sit in the office - Attention to detail

MY goals

won’t take you far withou worthk ethic”

I’m highly developed skills in design, layout and print. I am defined as adaptable, ambitious and ever willing to learn. I have an imagination that is far from the usual. With my work ethic and talent I feel I will be an asset to any team.

My aim simple, I want to grow and in order to do that I need to grow the company that hires me. I have the experience and the ability to adapt to any surrounding.

My long term goal is to open up my own clothing brand and make it a success.
