While working for Bobby Demure, Kelvin has established himself as a solid Designer, taking on projects that require both high levels of creativity and technical skills while frequently working under very tight deadlines. He is fluent in all the appropriate graphic design software and has shown initiative in learning new skills and expanding his talents at very short notice. Some examples of the type of work he has been responsible for include print adverts, billboards, newsletters, reports, posters and websites. He has consistently impressed our clients with his creativity and willingness to always go the extra mile. Future employers should feel confident that their requests and communications would be addressed in a timely and consistent manner. Kelvin has always been willing to offer assistance to clients and co-workers alike. He would be an asset to any employer and I recommend him for any endeavour he chooses to pursue.
