Personal
Statement 

My studies in Civil Engineering gave me
managerial skills and a sense of responsibility with regard to high budgets and
their delicate control. A year at the trade office of a stock market company
also gave me a full understanding of finance/economics. And finally,
photography was a subject that came into my life very naturally as I felt a
need for a creative output. In studying and working on this area I came to
realize on how the commercial and artistic worlds are dependent on each other
in order to produce successful results.

After my national
service, I decided to combine these skills and focus in the production of TV
Commercials and Events.  In the ensuing 7 years I gained wide experience
in Project Management, Advertising, Communication/Media.
