About me
Hello
I am a designer holding MA degree in Communication design and BA in Graphic design from Southampton University. I am currently working as a designer in London (Doubletake- A professional photography studio) but would be very interested in relocating somewhere else and freelancing.
I was involved in various business sectors after finishing my bachelor degree in Graphic Design in 2005 both in digital and print design. For a part of my previous employment I was involved as a member of a graphic design team in a large company working on different design projects. This helped me learn to take initiative as well as acquire the ability to work to deadlines and as part of a team, and also to exact briefs from clients and company executives
I am a designer with an artistic vision, exact and precise in my design.
I have also been working as a freelance graphic designer for different companies such as Geek, ICTmate, Eudelo Ltd. and Homa food which I did packaging and web design for.
It is more than 8 years I am working with design program such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, on both Mac and PC and my strong portfolio is a good evidence for my high quality design work.
I am looking forward to hearing form you
