Available to hire
Hi, I’m Emmanuel Santos. I’m a Fine Arts graduate with a passion for designing characters for various media and a polished eye for graphic design. I’ve built experience across art, design, and customer-facing roles, and I love collaborating with teams to turn ideas into visually engaging and user-friendly results.
I’m proficient with the Adobe Creative Suite, Blender, Figma, and G-Suite on both Mac and PC, and I enjoy applying color theory and layout principles to projects ranging from illustrations to web and exhibit design. I’m motivated, adaptable, and eager to contribute to creative projects that connect with people.
