Available to hire
Hi, I’m Raquel Duarte, a passionate graphic designer with over two years of experience specializing in presentations, reports, and promotional materials. I love bringing creative ideas to life using tools like Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, and I’m always eager to collaborate closely with clients to meet their goals efficiently. Whether it’s creating engaging social media graphics or motion graphics, I thrive on delivering high-quality designs on fast timelines.
I enjoy working independently and as part of a team, exploring various design styles and taking projects from initial concepts all the way to final animation. With my background in digital design and a keen eye for branding and typography, I’m excited to contribute my creativity and design expertise to help your brand stand out.
