Hi, I'm Drue Griffiths, a design student based in Wellington, New Zealand. I'm currently in my third year at Victoria University of Wellington, pursuing a Bachelor of Design Innovation with a double major in Communication Design and Interaction Design, plus a Marketing minor. I'm available for full-time work starting immediately, and I’m also seeking part-time opportunities alongside my studies. Through my study and remote work with Theola, I’ve developed strong skills in visual communication, branding, UX/UI design, and digital marketing.

I’m reliable, adaptable, and enjoy collaborating to craft practical, visually engaging solutions. I’d love to bring my design, marketing, and digital experience to your team and continue growing professionally.…
