A little about me...
I am a self-taught designer who has been honing his craft and working in the graphic design industry for over ten years. I’ve been very lucky to work and collaborate with some amazing people.
Besides working as a graphic designer/videographer, I aspire to play a supporting, but vital, role in any organization. I genuinely love working on the development and implementation of media campaigns, producing relevant and eye-catching content, improving brand identity and helping organizations communicate with their customers and clients more effectively and authentically.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my work!
