GEORGE MARTYN SHIPMANI am looking for a position in which there is the possibility to progress my career in a leading design role in which my creativity can thrive. I am never satisfi ed with a job half-done and strive for success in all tasks. I am self-motivated, communicative, and confi dent whilst being mature and comfortable when working as a part of a team. Through balancing education and employment, I have honed my time-management and organisational skills as well as my problem-solving ability whilst developing inter-personal sensitivity and the ability to work independently with initiative.
