Rodney Boot

Graphic Designer

Oslo, Norway
As a graphic designer my enthusiasm takes me a long way, enabling me to explore innovative and creative ways which help me solve challenging problems along the route. I critically evaluate design briefs with an open mind, resulting in completing projects reliably from concept to the finished artwork. From branding to web design I love working across multiple disciplines on a diverse range of projects. Having worked for both large and small design agencies in various countries I am able to adapt quickly to different situations. The fact that I speak and use three languages on a daily basis has been very beneficial to both me and my employers. Working individually or in a design team is a matter I can handle, and demonstrate that I am a resourceful individual with strong communication skills. I also appreciate tasks that give me the opportunity to develop myself.
