My name is Chris Beams. I consider myself to be a creative individual capable of thinking on my feet and turning my hand to anything (from photo manipulation to mural painting to turning an ice cream sundae into a buzzy bee for children). I believe that I am a cheerful, hard working, honest and conscientious individual who takes pride in his work and is capable of working well unsupervised or as part of a team. I reside in Merivale, Christchurch and can be contacted by phone on (064)(03) 377 1154 , 025 625 7959,or via Email at [email protected]

do I want to do with my life?

I wish to attain an extraordinary degree of wealth working as a graphic designer, having fun at the same time, get married, own my own home (complete with white picket fence) and raise 2 or more children.
