About me
I help brands communicate with audiences through visual storytelling. Whether it is a Brand Character, Packaging Design, Advertising Campaign, or just some illustrations for a website or mobile app. With a Brand Identity and Strategy background, I understand the power of Visual Storytelling in establishing a strong and unique brand presence. My illustrations are based on real life observations and that's key to connecting with the audience. I work in traditional media, such as watercolour, ink and pencils. The spontaneity and imperfection of this media bring liveliness and personality to designs. As a Brand Designer, I am committed to understanding the brand values and translating insights into compelling identities. My skills extend to Print and Digital design, including Website Imagery, Social Media Assets and Advertisement. I believe in the power of effective communication and strive to build lasting relationships with clients based on trust, connection, and open communication. If you're looking for authentic Illustrations, branding advice, or just creative networking, feel free to message me. Let's make an impact together! https://www.instagram.com/lera.watercolours https://www.behance.net/lerabolkonskaia https://www.instagram.com/lera.creates.branding I'd love to help your business grow!
