About me

Graduated in Graphic Arts, I've been working as a professional Graphic Designer since 2009, both working as an in-house and as a freelancer. This experience gave me support to work as part of a team, but also to achieve my goals and deadlines independently.

As you can see from my CV I have experience in:

- Graphic design - During the better part of my career I've worked as an employee in an event company, where amongst my responsibilities, the main was the creation of Graduation Invitations (which are very similar to a magazine/brochure). These years of experience made me acquired a thorough knowledge in all the printing processes (off set, digital, letterpress, serigraphy) and different finishings (use of foils, bindings, dying cuts, spot UV) of the Graphic Design Industry.

For three years I had the opportunity to work on a freelance basis, when I could develop different materials for several companies, such as branding, social media graphics, marketing collaterals, website banners, digital presentations, etc.

- Customer service and entrepreneurship - From 2016 to 2018 I have the opportunity to open a small business focused on the creation of wedding invitations. This endeavour gave me the confidence to improve my skills regarding customer service and business strategy. Considering that I was not only responsible for the creation of the invitations, but also for the sales, administration and delivery of the products.

I have also:

- Photography - Simultaneously with my graphic designer career I have been working as a professional photographer on a freelance basis since 2012. The majority of my experience in this area is mostly capturing events, although more recently I have been involved in products photoshoots envisaging its use in marketing campaigns, e-commerce and social media.

Highly proficient in Adobe Creative (Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator). Great knowledge in editing and retouching photographs (Adobe Lightroom). Confident with the use of DSLR cameras and its lenses and equipments.

Accustomed to work in fast paced environments, to develop projects from start to completion and to multitasking, delivering creative design within tight deadlines.

During the past two years I've been working outside my area to acquire language fluency, and now I am looking forward to return to it. I am a hard worker and dedicated person, always eager to learn. This part could be corroborated by my previously employer.
