Emma Hickey

I am new graduate who is ready to jump straight into the wonderful world of design and business. I have just recently completed my fourth and final year at Massey University Wellington, where I have gained First Class Honours in Visual Communication Design (BaDes).

Those that know me say that I’m hungry, yet humble. I don’t blow my own trumpet but I’m definitely not the one to lurk in the shadows. My constant diligence, quirky nature and zealousness mean that I have a lot to offer.

Key skills: 

Adobe Creative Suite (CS4) - More specifically InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop.
