LAUREN-CLAIR RAMAN
Backed by a National Diploma in Graphic Design from the University of Johannesburg, my work experience includes roles within both design agencies and corporate entities.
One of the corporations I worked for was global management consulting and professional services firm, Accenture (SA), where I provided the graphic design components of marketing campaigns for leading South African companies.
I channel my creative flair and passion for stand-out design to produce client marketing documents that simultaneously invoke a sense of the unique nature of each client’s business and present the business in its best light.
