About

Hi I’m Lizel! I am a final year Communication Design student based in Brisbane with a passion for thoughtful, people-focused design. My work is grounded in visual storytelling, branding, and research-driven communication, and I’m especially interested in how design can make ideas feel more engaging, accessible, and human. I enjoy approaching projects with curiosity and creativity, whether I’m working on digital content, print design, or collaborative creative projects.

Alongside my studies at QUT, I’m currently completing a remote international Graphic Design Internship while building experience across both creative and customer-facing roles. I love working with people, learning new skills, and bringing ideas to life through design that feels meaningful and intentional. Outside of design, I’m inspired by fashion, culture, travel, and the everyday experiences that shape how people connect with the world around them.
