RESUMÉ
I have created an entire website to describe what I do
and showcase some of my recent work. To view it
please go to evshowcase.co.za
I have been working as a graphic designer since 1993
and initially print based design and over the years
gradually moving more towards digital. I am a very
technically orientated person and would say you can
comfortably describe me as being a computer nerd with
design skills.
What is it I am looking for
Looking for WordPress and other creative work suitable
for online delivery.
Presently I am looking for new opportunities. As a
result of the COVID-19 lockdown and the subsequent
drop in business activity, I am in the position to take on
more project by project work.
