I am an information designer based in Pretoria having recently graduated with honours. Throughout my four years of study, I learnt how to think more conceptually and how to meet deadlines.
I was also exposed to group projects and learnt how to work well in team environments, communicate with, and lead others.
I also developed a strong work ethic and the drive to want to succeed in everything that I do.
