I’m a passionate and detail-oriented graphic designer with a fresh perspective and a strong foundation in design principles, visual storytelling, and creative problem-solving. Recently qualified with a degree in Graphic Design, I bring a modern and adaptable approach to branding, layout design, and print media. Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and other software such as Figma, I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy translating ideas into visually compelling designs. My academic background is complemented by experience gained through personal creative work and professional work. I’m driven by a desire to craft meaningful designs that not only look good but also serve a purpose, whether that’s elevating a brand, enhancing viewer experience, or conveying a clear message. Eager to grow in a dynamic studio or agency, I’m ready to contribute fresh ideas and build my career in the creative industry. I am proficient in different areas of design such as layout, branding / VISUAL IDENTITY, PHOTO EDITING / RETOUCHING & preparing artwork for print. I furthermore have a small amount of technical understanding of how printing and other production methods such as laser cutting and computer numerical controlled machining.
