My values as a creative...

Screenshot 2024-05-15 at 01.43.58.png

Creativity has always been a key part of who I am, and now, I want to make a difference as a surface pattern designer.

 

  • I value the importance of knowing what is best for people; the reasons behind designs/motivations / a purposeful sense of designs.

  • Meaningful and purposeful work; I enjoy generating concepts and understanding the market and consumer, then producing prints based on emotive responses or reminders – the value of making a difference!

  • Helping society/others; prioritising and understanding a certain market and what they want, then translating those elements into design.

  • Creativity and originality; always adding a sense of personal and individual styles.

  • Efficiency when developing a project; I value the importance of efficiency as well as good time management – having a balance between personal and work life.

  • Personal development/growth; I believe that everyone can always improve, and strive to be better.

  • Quality relationships/friendships; respect towards others no matter the circumstances or the setting.

  • Quality and excellence in outcomes; always aiming for the best possible outcomes.
