Holly Elmes

I consider myself to be highly motivated with a positive outlook. I take great pride in my work and always try to complete any task or challenge to the very best of my ability and be considerate to the needs of those around me. I appreciate all of the expectations of a valued trainee and the importance of communication. I love working within a creative team, but equally am happy tackling briefs independently and having the chance to stretch my creative wings. Having previously worked professionally as a performer in theatre and TV, I have gained experience and confidence working in professional creative environments and amongst other artists, which I believe to be very valuable.
