HALIS KAMAL
Summary
Coming from a family that is used to more conventional career pursuits, I took a leap of faith by choosing to pursue my passion in fashion and I believe that it was one of the best life decisions that I have made so far. I feel that this journey has brought out the best in me. I enjoy new challenges and interacting with people. My patience and easy-going yet energetic nature has made working in teams enjoyable. I am also flexible and have been able to independently helm projects on my own successfully.
I am a fast learner who works well under pressure and extremely motivated to constantly grow professionally. I am seeking to join an organization to further my career where I can utilize and continue to grow my design skills and knowledge.
