As a self taught designer, I uncovered my passion for graphic design whilst working as an Art and Design teacher. Over the past three months I have worked to develop my skills, gain work experience where I can and build a professional portfolio. Coming from a background in teaching I am extremely self motivated, can work to deadlines and managed my time independently. I am also confident liaising and communicating effectively with colleagues and external stakeholders and have an understanding of a Art and Design which, paired with my newly developed graphic design skills, I believe will allow me to be a valuable member of your design team.
