About me
I'm a Graphic Design student at the University of Wollongong. I will commence my final semester in July, and I hope to take on an internship whilst completing my degree. I enjoy working with my hands, but I am also capable of designing in Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. I have a great interest in sign-writing, too.
Projects
  • Craft Beer Alphabet
    Craft Beer AlphabetEvery time I drink I nice beer, I take my sketchbook and draw the labels. I have been doing this since I can remember, but I decided to make a project out of it. I used gouache and pen, and I painted one every day for 26 days. I improved every day. This was a self-motivated project, and I would like to use my illustrations for some fun apparel items one day in the future.
Work history
    Freelance Graphic Designer
    Sydney, AustraliaFreelance
    Sofar Sounds is a network of artists and music lovers who create intimate gigs in interesting spaces all around the world. I have had the pleasure of designing posters for Sofar Sounds Sydney and Melbourne on a volunteer basis over the past year. This has been a great way for me to continue improving my poster designs, and to combine my love for music and design. I hope to become more involved with the Sofar Sounds team upon my return to Australia.
    Auxiliar de Conversation
     - 01308 Lantziego, Álava, SpainFull Time
    Taking some time off from my studies, I moved to Spain to work as a conversation assistant, which involved working in a primary school to assist the students with their English. This has been a great opportunity for me to improve my Spanish, whilst emerging myself in the local customs, learning a lot about the Basque Country and its history. While not relevant to my career in Graphic Design, this experience has opened my eyes to the ways people live in other parts of the world. I have been able to visit a lot of European cities (and museums) during my stay, which has fuelled my creativity and my passion for design.

Education

    Northfields Ave, Wollongong NSW 2522, Australia

To complement my degree, I am taking a minor in Marketing Communications and Advertising, as well as a minor in Spanish.
    Bachelor of Design (Fashion)
     - 2 Short St, Surry Hills NSW 2010, Australia
    I attended Whitehouse Institute for the first year of the 3 year Bachelor degree. I enjoyed sewing and manufacturing garments, however I realised I preferred to keep this as a hobby, not a career. I took illustration classes (practical and digital), and I realised that I was better suited to Graphic Design and illustration. The skills I learned in this year were very valuable, but I chose not to continue my studies at Whitehouse.
