About me

Hi, my name is Karolina and I am a recent graduate from Middlesex University with a first class BA Honours in Graphic Design. I have always enjoyed doing brand design projects and throughout my time at university, I was able to explore branding in a variety of different areas. Working on complex branding projects taught me great time management skills, organization and proficiency in design softwares. Besides branding, I am also interested in UI design, motion graphics and developing my skills in modern calligraphy and hand lettering. I am currently living in London and looking for full-time or internship opportunities, where I could develop my skills further or learn something completely new. Email: karolinakalisova6@gmail.com
