About me
A passionate Graphic Design (Illustration) graduate with three years of experience using a range of software such as; Adobe Creative Cloud and a personal interest in Photography. I developed experience in Branding Development, particularly Logo Design. Illustrated and designed zines, book covers and posters. I used problem-solving skills to improve projects to have better-finished outcomes. In my recent role as a Graphic Design intern at ApnaKey, I worked collaboratively with my supervisor and another intern to develop character designs for merchandise and online purposes. This included communicating effectively by reporting any progress made within the design tasks. I was responsible for digitally illustrating characters according to events, using Adobe Illustrator. My internship also included developing the brand guidelines and experimenting with logo variations.
