CV<br />
After setting up my own business, which lead me to four years of success, I decided that I<br />
wanted a career in a design studio working with other designers. I work hard in a team, but I<br />
like to think I flourish when I’m doing something i love. I’ve got big ideas, aspirations and I am<br />
always looking for a way to make them come true.<br />
I have learnt that working in a team is important for creative inspiration; having that platform<br />
to bounce ideas off other workers provides a foundation from which I can push myself - and<br />
others - to our greatest potential. Communication and understanding of the project means we<br />
can solve the brief to the best of our abilities, guaranteeing that key ideas are executed properly<br />
and efficiently.<br />
I genuinely believe that I take a positive and enthusiastic approach in all my work.<br />
Each project is engaged in with professionalism to allow my creativity and passion to be<br />
expressed. Imagination can lead to limitless creation from an individual, so the potential of a<br />
team is unparalleled. I like to think that the consistent quality of the work displayed throughout<br />
my portfolio exemplifies the potential of any team with me as a member; many of my projects<br />
have been undertaken simultaneously, and my ability to micro-manage my time is something<br />
that i am very proud of.<br />
