I’m an experienced freelance graphic designer skilled in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma. I develop elements for brands for both digital and print platforms with great attention to detail. I have the ability to adapt to different styles and industries and solve problems with knowledge of print production. I prioritise building positive client relationships and excel in communication and time management.
I have a lot of skills that combine technical expertise with creativity. I am excellent at using graphic design software like Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat, Lightroom, XD, and After Effects) and Figma to create visually impressive materials.
Passionate about print and typography, I possess a strong affinity for visual communication. I specialize in crafting and maintaining cohesive brand identities across both digital and print platforms. My skills seamlessly transition from traditional print mediums to the realm of digital design, where I excel in developing unique and memorable brand representations.
With a keen eye for detail, I ensure that every project I undertake is visually harmonious and effectively communicates the intended message.
I embrace adaptability, which helps me handle diverse design styles, industries, and client preferences effortlessly. I am a creative troubleshooter, finding innovative solutions for challenges.
I have the expertise to create visually appealing designs that are suitable for different types of printed materials, thanks to my understanding of print production requirements.
I excel at creating and keeping good connections with clients during the design process, resulting in successful projects that involve teamwork.
My ability to communicate well makes me stand out. I am great at talking with clients, understanding what they want, and explaining design ideas clearly. I’m also good at managing time and can handle multiple projects at once, meeting deadlines and giving each task the right amount of attention.
