About me

My name is Angel Polo, I am currently seeking a role as a Graphic Designer.

Over the past few years, I've worked as a freelance Illustrator on minor projects for T-shirts, books, wedding invitations,... but always felt I have not been able to apply my creativity professionally.

In 2009 I enrolled in a Diploma of Graphic Design - Advertising and Multimedia - with Martin College (Australia) where I studied the principles of design and learnt how to use the tools and software available to apply my creative thinking into practicality.

In this course I also received an award for my diligence and commitment to my works.

Since then I've been freelancing here and there while searching for a more estable position within a company.

I am highly skilled in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator, with intermediate skills in Flash and Dreamweaver. I use both Mac and windows computers.

I have always had an eye for detail, work hard, and try for the best, and it is with this motivation and enthusiasm that I'm looking for an opportunity to show what I'm capable of while being part of a great team. I'm looking forward to hear from your company.

Angel.
