AT A GLANCE
After my studies and getting my 1st class degree in Graphic Design, I started my design career as a print designer, but over time, learnt to be a web designer and motion graphics artist. I've worked for various design agencies, eventually moving my focus to digital design and more recently 3D modelling and animation as a freelancer.
