My name is Angel, I’m a graphic designer experienced in creating social media content and brand assets that connect with audiences. Since this role focuses on creating social media posts and branded content for your coffee shop, my background is especially relevant. At the University of Waterloo Food Services, I led and designed campaigns that reached over 38,000 students, creating eye-catching visuals and video content that boosted engagement and made dining experiences feel more connected. More recently, during my internship with Design Hour, I worked with clients like Blue Ridge Coffee House and their interior designer/architect, Hyrel Mathias Interiors (HMID), where I designed tailored marketing assets that captured each brand’s unique personality and vision. What sets me apart is my ability to blend creativity with strategy, I make designs that don’t just look good but also resonate with people and build trust. Skilled in both Figma and Adobe Suite, I’m confident I can bring your coffee shop’s story to life online in a way that feels authentic, inviting, and memorable.
