about me
I have been in the graphic design world for many years now from being at Leicester College doing a NVQ then onto a National Diploma in graphics which I was graded Distinction, Distinction, Merit. After this I studied at Lincoln University and completed a HND in graphics. During my time at university I sauced a work placement during my summer holidays. The placement was at STANDOUT A fast growing design company, I had to produce different items from packaging to identities.
Overall I am an enthusiastic, punctual, hard working and very well organised person, capable of working alone or in a team. With my current experience I have learnt to deal with customers and suppliers.
