Ivan Greyling

With a rich dual career spanning over 15 years, I bring a unique fusion of frontline emergency medical services expertise and visual marketing and graphic design acumen. Starting as a Basic Life Support Technician and evolving into a Service Manager and Specialised Event Coordinator, I've mastered crisis management, rapid decision-making, and leading under pressure. These skills have been pivotal in navigating the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring team safety and high standards of care.
 

Parallel to my medical career, I've ascended through the creative industry, from apprenticeship to senior designer and creative lead. My flair for visual storytelling and my ability to conceptualise and execute impactful design projects, particularly for social causes, have been greatly enhanced by my experiences in high-stakes medical environments.

I am now poised to apply my comprehensive skillset in new professional landscapes, particularly drawn to roles that champion ethical and quality business practice. I am enthusiastic about opportunities that leverage my cross-disciplinary expertise for innovative problem-solving and strategic development. My career journey has equipped me with a unique perspective and a versatile skill set, making me a valuable asset in any forward-thinking and dynamic team.

With over 15 years of experience, I've dedicated my career to emergency services, serving as a medic, station commander, and Specialised Medical Services Coordinator. Simultaneously, I pursued my passion for Visual Marketing/Design, progressing from an apprentice to roles like senior designer, creative lead, and creative director. Recently, I transitioned from my role as an SMS coordinator, and I'm now seeking senior positions in both emergency services and the creative field, aiming to apply my diverse skill set.
