Designer Bookbinder – I have been in the bookbinding industry since completing my degree in 2004. I have gained a skilled range of knowledge and expertise with a flair for igniting passion in the ‘product as art’ concept.
Communicating, taking instructions, training and helping - I have been described as a “resourceful team-player who can be relied upon to get the job done with no drama”. I am patient and calm which allows others to better digest the guidance and knowledge I pass on.
Meticulous recordkeeping - As a team player I value the importance of data accuracy and easy retrieval to aid work productivity. If there is no system in place to record valuable information I have in the past taken it upon myself to create and maintain a new system.
