About me

My name is Koorosh Noroozi and I have just been awarded a 2:1 BA (Hons) degree in Graphic Design from The University for the Creative Arts. I have strong graphic design skills, an attention to detail and a real passion and enthusiasm for design; in particular branding, typography, commercial design and design for print.

I have experience in creating banners, leaflets, posters, business cards and letterheads, for both university projects, but also for clients through freelance work, work experience and a freelance job at a marketing agency. It is at this job that I built up experience in the design industry; liaising with printers, meeting deadlines, managing projects and working on larger scale projects including shop front designs. I have been able to see print from concept, to the actual delivery, through the designing and collection of banners and posters.

I also recently completed a two-week internship at a commercial property management company, working in the design team to create brochures, adverts and interactive PDF's. I had to adhere to strict branding guidelines in order to keep the consistency of the brand identity. I learnt how to manage multiple projects in a short period of time so that deadlines were met for each project. I also had to make amendments to existing designs, which required an attention to detail and an element of precision.

I will bring strong typographical skills, an attention to detail and a creative flair which would be highly beneficial to you. I am hardworking, professional, organised, and have experience in managing projects and keeping to deadlines.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards

Koorosh Noroozi
