I feel that I am a designer with a consistent creative outlook on projects that I am focused on. I have a polite manner and strive to accomplish tasks to a high specification, but takes feedback willingly as constructive criticism helps me evaluate my own performance. I think that I have a determined personality intertwined with a professional competitive attitude.

I have a deep loyal attitude toward any projects that I am facing, and ensure that any tasks completed will be done so in an efficient manner. This is because I do not like losing in any challenge I'm greeted with. This allows me to cope with pressure well and help other people that are in the same position of me whilst completing tasks of my own.

I feel that given the right creativity within a job role this will bring out the best in what I need to complete, I also appreciate ideas from other members of staff as having a few members to share ideas with can solve problems that have not yet been thought of. I believe that manners makes the world go round and will treat every person I meet as an individual with needs.

I have taken leadership courses in order to fully understand the tasks and attitude that is needed to be equipped, in order to handle tasks and social interactions with grace. I have also co worked on projects in my spare time, for example I have worked on a music video for ™ MTV Networks . Working on a project like a music video helped me to understand that different departments have to work together in order to create a concept. I learned that a consistent professional work flow within a company is needed to be achieved in order for the company to be able to progress to its full potential.

But my favourite is the final fantasy franchise To stay fit, I enjoy running and playing 5 a side football although I would like to get back into boxing, maybe when the time is right. To keep myself entertained, I like to write stand up comedy and to keep me mentally active I design invention concepts. I have also travelled and enjoyed some time in Europe.

In summary I feel that I am a professional worker that puts a high level of activity within my projects, I like to look at all things from a different perspective in order to be sure that I am looking at all of the possibilities before me. I believe that the thoughts I create will be turned into actions that will be beneficial for myself and any company that I work for. The skills that I have achieved thus far whether via education or independent research will ensure that I have a fruitful foreseeable future. Program name: Novice Intermediate Advanced
