Andreas Minas’s Summary

I have been living and working in London since February 2008. Before that I have been in New York City for 14 years completing my studies and working professionally in the post production industry as a Motion Graphics Designer, Video Editor and Support Engineer. One of the more rewarding aspects of all my positions has been dealing with clients and having the satisfaction of meeting their needs.
I am a very energetic and hard working person, fast learner, and easily adaptable to any scenario. I love working with people and I am reliable and punctual.
