Summary

Background:


I am a passionate and experienced graphic designer with a strong creative flair and a knack for bringing ideas to life through visually captivating designs. With 3 years of experience in the industry, I have honed my skills in both print and digital design, specializing in creating engaging marketing materials, eye-catching logos, and polished branding assets.

Growing up I have always been interested in I.T and gifted too so I began doing self work where I developed a solid foundation in design principles, typography, and color theory. Through freelance projects during my studies, I gained practical experience and refined my skills in Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.


Despite not having a degree or certificate in graphics design, I consider myself to be professional graphic designer, due to the born given skills I possess.

I have the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, meet tight deadlines, and adapt to evolving design trends and technologies. Whether it's designing occasion flyers for special events, crafting social media graphics for digital campaigns, or developing cohesive brand identities, I approach each project with enthusiasm and attention to detail.


I am excited about the opportunity to bring my passion for design and my expertise to in your company. I am confident that my skills and experience make me a strong candidate for the graphic design position, and I look forward to contributing to the continued success and growth of the team. I will be a great asset to your company
