Mid-Weight Graphic Designer
-
Mar 2021 - Aug 2022
As a mid-weight designer at a small studio, I was granted a lot of freedom and responsibility. I gained extensive experience in a variety of design mediums and obtained a deep understanding of marketing and branding. Here, my tasks include designing logos and constructing corporate identities from scratch, as well as completing projects in web design, packaging design, signage and animation. In my role, I was responsible for managing and designing for 10 separate company-managed accounts on various platforms. I created content for the various brands that we worked with, to help reach our goals of engagement and increase awareness.
