Nice to meet you, I’m Estella. I’m a graphic designer in my twenties with a passion for visual storytelling and contemporary design culture. I’m building my career at the intersection of branding, editorial design, and digital media. Before beginning my graduate studies, I completed a foundational design course and earned a four-year degree in graphic design, which I enriched through additional design studies in Switzerland. I graduated in July 2025, a milestone in my creative journey. With over four years of professional experience, I’ve worked across branding, editorial design, and digital media, contributing to projects ranging from small-scale identities to large campaigns. I’m currently working as a designer in Switzerland, continuing to refine my design language and explore new ideas. In January 2026, I will be based in Paris as I take the next step in my development.
