Tenisha Cloete
I am a graphic designer and have been working in the industry for 6+ years. I believe that design is not about a quick fix, but rather finding the right solution that will take the journey forward. I am an Organised Creative Designer (OCD) with attention to detail and an understanding of workflows.
Show profile Hide profileWith my background in Sketching, Illustration, Photography, Print Media, Newsletters, Website layouts, and later moving on to more Digital Design, App UI and Workflows is when I started to research more intensively and discovered the amazing world and psychology behind the art and the application of UX and UI Design.
Perfectionism, Professionalism and Ethics are all strong attributes that I nurture within myself and also strongly encourage in all areas of design. I have a strong sense of project management, graphic design competencies and professional attitude that I can bring to the team and I am constantly developing myself as a designer to improve my skills and work ability.
