Easy & effective communication Conceptual thinking Persuasion Adaptability Proactive Teamplayer “To make communication effective I think it is important to know its audience. The talk should be black or white. And if it’s not, no one can save you from failure.” I am currently working with Spartan Poker Online Gaming Pvt Ltd for the last 3 yrs 9 months as a Creative Director. Here, my key role includes the development or effective creative concepts for design projects. I have worked with both external and internal clients, that has helped me develop an understanding about the needs of both of them. I am also responsible in the recruiting and managing of the design firms and other design resources. I also played an active role in writing and designing headlines and helping in drawing advertisement boards. I strongly believe in effective teamwork and my experience of leading a team has shaped my other all-round abilities like communication skills and presentations.
