Summary

I identify myself to be a corporate designer, as I have worked long-term with multinational companies such as PWC, KPMG and BDO. Within these companies, I have gained extensive experience in studio & project management, receiving stakeholders briefs, mentoring creative staff and also being a designer / developer / guardian of the Brand. From this experience I can bring valuable contributions to future design projects and teams.
