I am an open-minded, friendly and resourceful creative leader with a optimistic outlook and practical approach to problem solving. My passion and drive is to create design solutions. I love to work with a collaborative team to solve problems through design. I try to pass on my skills to others and better the lives of others around me. I have an excellent ability to motivate others. As a multidisciplinary designer, I not only have experience in digital design but also have a large skill set and knowledge in photography, illustration, sculpture, painting, animation and industrial design and construction I enjoy taking on challenges and learning new skills.
