About me

I've worked as a graphic designer for about 10 years now. Before working as a freelance, I worked for two years as an In-house designer at The Spicery in Bristol, UK. My two passion are print design - specially branding, books and magazines and I digital design. I've got excellent communication skills in English, German and Spanish - and love to meet new people. In my previous working experience, I have always demonstrated great commitment, a keen eye for detail and ability to work under pressure.

• The Spicery - Designed several productsI worked at The Spicery as an In-House Designer until August this year. The Spicery is a medium-size company based in Bristol. They are experts in blending spices and creating delicious recipes. I established the brand identity, ensuring that the brand was consistency and easy to identify. I wanted to create an identity brimming with colour and life, a visual celebration of the diversity of cultures.
