• When and why did you get into graphic design?

I discovered my passion for graphic design and visual arts in 2011. It all started with creating music videos using my favorite shows and movies in Windows Movie Maker, and then moving on to Photoshop and Sony Vegas. In 2013, I began using After Effects, which set me on my professional path. I gained experience through minor jobs in media agencies, graduated with a Bachelor's in Media Technology in 2023, and have been working full-time in the field since then.

• What is your motivation to keep going?

My motivation for pursuing a career in graphic design is my endless love for art. I am passionate about helping my clients visualize and explain their products and services, playing an essential role in their success. The opportunity to continuously create and innovate keeps me driven and inspired every day.

• What design software do you use for your projects?

I use various programs from the Adobe Creative Suite, including After Effects for motion graphics, Illustrator for icon design and vector art, Photoshop for sketching and photo design, Premiere Pro for compiling and polishing video clips, and InDesign for preparing print formats and layouts.

• What types of projects do you enjoy?

I enjoy challenging projects, especially when a service or product is difficult to explain with words. I love assisting in the visualization of a product portfolio, bringing complex concepts to life through creative design and helping clients communicate their value effectively.
