Simone Marie Scrivener
I am a creative, imaginative and experimental Designer. My strength lies in creating professional illustrations with a unique style. Colour is a strength of mine and I have a strong eye for composition.
With a background in Printmaking, I have strong drawing skills and am confident in my ability to work across a wide range of traditional and contemporary illustration mediums, both manual and digital.
I am disciplined, self motivated and focused. I always meet deadlines and exceed clients expectations. I know how to work efficiently, be punctual and maintain timelines and checkpoints. I love to research new illustration projects, source and create images to suit client’s needs. I take the initiative to consult with others. I love feedback and am happy to change my work appropriately without feeling threatened.
I am flexible in work arrangements. I feel as comfortable working in teams as I do working independently. My success in group situations comes from having a friendly, warm, enthusiastic approach and I have a great sense of humour.
