Hi, I’m Cliona Duffy, a BA (Hons) Visual Communication Design graduate from TU Dublin with a keen interest in layout, branding, and packaging. My studies at Dunboyne College and CalArts online gave me solid foundations in graphic design, and my early work in hairdressing taught me how to blend color, composition, and client-focused communication into visual stories. I’ve gained practical experience through collaborative student projects, retail roles, and event support at Croke Park, which has strengthened my teamwork, time management, and attention to detail. I’m proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom) and eager to contribute pixel-perfect visuals and thoughtful design that support business goals. I’m organized, motivated, and excited to grow in a junior graphic designer role.
