I am currently pursuing an International Management and Business Economics degree at the University of Manchester, with a strong background in sales, e-commerce and graphic design. Over the past years I built a client-facing experience via online sales (over 600 orders) and developed product visuals for diverse Amazon listings, enhancing brand visibility and conversion rates. I have a growing portfolio as a graphic designer, specializing in branding, logos, and marketing collateral for fashion and food industries. Beyond academics, I enjoy blending creative design with data-driven marketing and IT skills, and I actively contribute to university environments through IT support and promotional work for student societies. I’m eager to collaborate with teams that value creative storytelling, visual identity, and practical digital solutions.
