Graphic Designer & UI/UX Designer with a background in corporate business

Professional Summary
Graphic Designer & UI/UX Designer
I'm a Graphic Designer creating print, outdoor and social campaigns with Higgsfield AI and Adobe Illustrator. Before moving into graphic design I spent years on UI/UX training and freelance and agency work, and before that I worked in procurement at IBM and sales at Cisco. That mix gives me a strong eye for visuals together with a clear understanding of business requirements, stakeholders and deadlines.
Design Philosophy
Consistency, Accessibility, Simplicity
Focused on consistency, accessibility, and simplicity. I prioritize stakeholder requirements and user needs while incorporating clean and aesthetic designs.
Artistic Foundation
From Traditional Art to Digital Design
My journey as a designer began in early childhood, when I developed a passion for drawing and painting landscapes, flowers, animals, and portraits. Ever since my childhood I used to draw continuously with aquarelle, oil and acrylic colors. This artistic personality gives me a natural advantage in UI design, particularly in creating original and beautiful visual elements and understanding color theory and composition. Today, I continue to develop these skills digitally using my Wacom tablet with Adobe Illustrator, bringing the freedom of drawing art on paper to digital design.
