A Bit More About Me
I have just finished my final year as a Graphic Design student at Northumbria University.
My specific areas of interest lie in the realms of branding and marketing as well as physical design processes, including screen printing, collaging, and photography. I integrate these processes into my own work through the use of various Adobe Suite programs such as Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator. Additionally, I have received training in Premier Pro and I am constantly looking to expand my skill set. I am eager to apply my passion and expertise to contribute meaningfully to the world (of graphic design).
Work Experience
June 2022 - August 2023
July - August 2019
Communications Intern at UNFPA Eritrea
I was in charge of designing visibility materials for UN events and the Country Team office. As well as Annual/Bi-annual Reports and Newsletters that would be shared with the whole of the UN or specific agencies, photography and maintenance of social media accounts. Working at UNFPA Eritrea requires analytical and strategic thinking, accountability, leadership qualities, self awareness and empathy.
Internship at BrandComms London
During my two month summer internship at the communications agency I spent my time shadowing the inhouse graphic designers, designing icons, signage and merchandise for an expo held by a client. The main skills I gained were time management, familiarity with Illustrator and Indesign and an insight into the corporate world of design working closely with creatives in related fields.
