About me
I’m a graphic designer with a passion for layout, dogs and trying to learn After Effect's endless keyboard shortcuts. My work focusses on digital design with a focus on social media, but I also have an interest in art direction, retouching and strategy. Nevertheless, whatever the medium, ultimately I like to consistently challenge myself and learn new skills
