In the years of working with Mr Bernardes my journey to further my skills and become a professional in my industry, these years built a stronger foundation to pursue my profession with ease. Mr Bernardes took me under his wing and taught me the meaning of hard work and quality of work. When I first started working with Mr Bernardes he was open to helping and improving my skills with positive feedback and great critiques. From not knowing much about the career I was in, within 2 years, my skill. Ethic, mentality and behaviour changed to that of a professional employee. It is because of Mr Bernardes that I am where I am today, those skills and knowledge passed down from him have been the driving force of my career and today I reap the rewards of such mentorship.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Marlon was a senior designer at Caxton Local Newspapers when I was doing my internship as a junior designer at the Design School of SA. I was inspired by Marlon\u2019s level of talent, diligent efforts and passion on every design he worked on. He taught me a lot of basic design processes and skills to help kick start my career in the design industry. Marlon is talented with his wide range of knowledge, experience and ability to meet deadlines with an excellent quality of work.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
