You eat, breath and sleep design and would not let any creative challenge go unsolved. You like your towels to line up neatly and you have an obsession for organization and simplicity. It’s in your blood to be detail orientated. You may have been labeled as a “neat freak” by some of your peers. You believe that attentive and detailed execution is key in bringing a design concept to life. You have a strong understanding of design & colour theories. You have mad pen on paper skills and would never leave home without your sketchbook. You can work independently or work collaboratively with a team. You don’t mind talking directly with the client; in fact you think that’s the best way to go so there’s less chance of miscommunication.
