Hey, I'm Raff 👋🏼

I'm a Graphics & Playout Operator at QVC UK, where I play a crucial role in delivering captivating visual content for live broadcasts.

I collaborate closely with others on the production team to produce high-quality, on-brand graphics that enhance the viewer experience and contribute to the overall success of the broadcast.
