I'm a focused and enthusiastic Interactive Creative seeking full-time employment at an Interactive Advertising/Design studio. I thrive in a collaborative work environment and am interested in creating innovative and engaging projects. I'm a positive person and learn from everything I do. I place as much value in failure as I do in success; I believe that if you don't fail once in a while that you're not trying hard enough.
