If you are looking for an ambitious, passionate graphic designer with skills. I have over 5 years experience as a graphic designer / executive assistant, over 3 years experience in accessory design and 3 years experience in computer hardware and software development. The ability to learn new software and use it to create brilliant design is my talent.

I have considerable experience  in dealing with deadlines. Pressure drives me to create better design. I enjoy connecting with people and I like getting the task at hand completed.

I look forward to meeting with you soon. I am available for an interview right now.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
