Summary

A career in graphic design is arguably one of the most difficult to achieve, but I believe that I have the passion and creative knowledge to fulfil my dream of becoming a professional designer. My passion for this career path has developed over the years, and I am determined to make my dream a reality. I am now a dependable freelance graphic designer. I created my freelance online business ‘Design by Deanna’ in 2022, and has since attracted a large audience of aspiring business-owners. This experience has provided me with crucial skills, such as time management, organisation, communication, and excellent customer service. Over the last 10 years I have continued to expand my Photoshop skillset. I am skilled in the production of high-quality design concepts with the ability to develop interactive designs and design brief definitions. My understanding of design is comprehensive, giving me the capacity to identify fresh, artistic approaches. Overall, I am the perfect applicant for this position because I share a genuine passion for what I do, and I am enthusiastic to learn new skills in this industry. To demonstrate my dedication and eagerness I will need to show this in an interview, in person.
