About Me
Profile Type: Individual
Number of Employees: 1
I'm a Creative Director, Illustrator, Designer, and Animator with over 10 years of experience in visual communication.
I'm extremely proficient in broadcast design, animation and multimedia. I also like generating new ideas, be it for print advertising, web, or coming up with TV pilots. I like to think outside the box, have fun with my creative process, roll up my sleeves and get involved in the marketing solution from the ground up.

Payment Terms
Usually with new clients I ask for a 30% retainer fee, before I start the project. And then another 30% on first presentation and approval. And then remaining on delivery.
