Lindsay Dhludhlu
Graphic & Website Designer
Specialising in Visual Communication Design
I aspire to create designs that are simple, intelligent, effective, purposeful and gratifying. I am an imaginative and organised designer with a desire to develop visions into beautiful creations.
As an eager learner and someone with initiative, I aim to add value by interpreting the core of the brief and to take design into action. In doing so, my design performance will help grow the image of the company, achieve business goals and attract business revenue.
