Graphic Designer
2019-2022 · Remote
I worked across branding, localisation, and commercial design projects for international and local clients. I developed visual identities, campaign assets, and print materials.
Past life
I studied visual arts in high school, but after the 2008 crisis, I decided to try industrial life by studying renewable energy. After finishing the program, I worked at Vestas Wind Systems for eight years as a service technician. During that time, I did freelance work, such as creating illustrations, logos, and other graphic materials. It was only until 2020 that I decided to go back into the design life.
I’d love to hear your story.
