Summary

Originally trained in Graphic Design, I transitioned into the construction industry while running my own T-shirt design business alongside. I'm a highly creative individual who thrives in environments that encourage originality and self-expression. Through building a small but successful clothing brand, I discovered a strong passion for creating unique content and inspiring others to express themselves through art and design. I am now seeking to re-enter the creative industry and would value any opportunity given to contribute and grow within a forward-thinking team.
