I'm Courtney Van Geel, a recent Bachelor of Creative Arts (VEED) graduate with honours, specializing in 2D digital art, concept art, and character design. I have a strong grounding in colour theory, shape design, and purposeful critique to drive high-quality outcomes. I'm excited to apply my skills across character design, concept art, graphic design, and branding. I am open to local or remote roles and eager to collaborate on projects that challenge my creativity. I work best in email-based, practical settings due to a hearing disability; I’m a visual learner who communicates through sketches and references. I’m patient, adaptable, and eager to learn. I back my work with research to ensure context and function are embedded alongside aesthetics. I prefer clear written communication and thoughtful collaboration to deliver results that are both visually compelling and fit for purpose.
