I am a highly adaptable, fast learning and curious person with a desire to learn within creative and artisanal professional environments.

​

I think in a versatile and post-disciplinary manner when creating work-related and design-related solutions and I would like to utilise these skills within a creative workplace.

​

I am open-minded, sensitive, and considerate whilst having the ability to be objective and logical when necessary.

​

As an artist and designer, I have a desire to harness new skills and use them to express and solve problems creatively.

​

I am honest, trustworthy, and respectful.
