About

Design is the natural choice of career for me. I love it. I am fascinated by it. I want nothing more that to earn a respectable living doing something that I love. I’d say that my strengths are:

(1) a strong sense of effective design

(2) a sharp sense of humor

(3) an insatiable thirst to learn everything I possibly can

(4) effective communication skills

(5) and an ability to visually conceptualize abstract ideas

(6) My personality is ENFJ (https://www.16personalities.com/enfj-personality)

I am very good with people - love meeting new people/clients

(7) I am hardworking but always have to find an element of fun in my job...

Very motivational and positive.

Breaking communication barriers with intelligent design solutions is the most satisfying problem solving I’ve ever undertaken. Aside from design and art, I love the entertainment industry (movies - I am a part time actress), music, singing (love singing a lot), exercising, wine, coffee and pizza :)

I get excited to create things that weren’t there before. Design is my passion! Which means I don’t mind if you think I’m only as good as my last job because I’m bound to be proud of it.
