ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
Heath Schreiweis
DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS/MARKETING DESIGNER
For more than 10 Years I have been in the digital media industry, Originally starting off as a website developer than branching into graphic design, print and multimedia marketing.
I have developed a strong passion in digital media and design, I believe that things should look good, and work well. My ability to utilise my skills in development and programming along side my design abilities, make me an excellent asset in any digital unit. On many occasions I have acted as a conduit between the technical skills of programmers/developers and the design skills of graphic designers/artists as I have solid experience and can operate successfully in both fields.
I have been able to attack almost any task that is set before me, I am an excellent problem solver and have become the 'go-to' guy on a number of occasions when follow co-workers are presented with a complicated project or task. I enjoy seeking solutions to challenges and problems.
