Believes design is about observing and learning from your daily encounters, then transforming these experiences into visual messages and statements. A team player that enjoys collaborating with fellow designers, yet strongly independent. Perfectionist with a keen eye for detail; accuracy is not my aim, but my religion. Sees challenges as a great learning opportunity for self improvement. Takes pride in the ability to adapt to challenges and change accordingly, evolving and progressing. Strives to achieve balance in work and personal time, essential to producing awe-inspiring work. Enjoys a good book, sketching, good tunes, tea or coffee, football, travelling and collecting stuff.
