Professional Experience
June 2001 - July 2005:
I worked as a full time designer for www.bestgamesnow.com . We were selling bundles of PC, Xbox
and Console Games. My job was to increase conversions through design. I learned from the
experience a good deal about programming languages, managing and working in a team and more. We
worked in teams of 3. We switched teams each 2 weeks. This gave me the opportunity to
collaborate with different people and to work in a fast paced environment.
August 2005 - Now
I'm working as a freelancer. I attached some of my work to this CV. I learned how different
customers can be and how to make them happy. This will come handy in my next job. I will be
able to please the future customers and my employer by designing exactly what they want.
