Designarm
Graphic Designer
During my time at Designarm I held a series of responsibilities from dealing with clients to handling money. My responsibilities included giving presentations to clients selling concepts and ideas. I learnt to present my self and approach a wide variety of people in a friendly and responsible manner. I was also in charge of buying for the company meeting requirements of other employees and being trusted to find the cheapest or most cost effective solution for the company. Mainly I am in charge of marketing, I use my design skills and creativity to bring in work not only from an established customer base but from new clients.
