About

Hi, I’m Rola Ayoub, a Senior Desktop Publisher and Graphic Designer based in Ottawa. Over more than a decade, I have delivered high-quality print and digital publications, mastering image editing, template design, typography, layout finalization, and production workflows. I also provide English-to-Arabic translation, proofreading, archiving, and stakeholder coordination to ensure projects sign off smoothly. I strive for accuracy, consistency, and timely delivery while keeping a friendly, collaborative approach.

I’ve collaborated with agencies and clients across freelance projects since 2011, most notably with Leo Burnett (2012–2017) and Sterling Spaces (2023). I’m proficient in Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop, as well as Microsoft Office, and I enjoy mentoring junior publishers and improving processes to adapt to evolving digital media guidelines.
