Career Objectives
Through previous experiences I have discovered that my life’s ambition is to design and create. I thrive on generating something from nothing and therefore I know that I am suited to the role of 3D Illustration, Architecture and Graphic Design. I believe the skills I have acquired through schooling and appropriate courses have provided me with relevant information in order to prepare me for professional design and development work. I am a dedicated, devoted and self-disciplined person who strives to embark on new tasks and responsibilities regardless of how challenging they may be. I aspire to become a modern, unique architect or graphic designer.
With over 4 year’s casual experience in the workforce I pride myself particularly on my attention to detail. I am proficient with computer skills using Mac, Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. I have experience in Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver, Google Sketch-Up, Computer Aided Drafting (CAD), Revit Architecture and 3Ds MAX.
