Andreea Fernea, Graduate of Digital Concept Development | Self-taught visual designer | Creative thinker with big love for people

About

Creative human with lots of love for art, people, and my work. Graduate of Business Academy Aarhus with a degree in multimedia design and digital concept development. Self-taught graphic designer. Currently dipping my toes in the motion graphics universe. My strongest side is my various skillset. I thrive when I can put into practice different tools and knowledge I gained through the years. I am a graduate of multimedia design, where I learned how to code in HTML/CSS, learned how to film and photograph, and learned to transform people's needs into digital products. Furthermore, I am a graduate of digital concept development, where I dived deeper into user research, value creation, today's technologies, project management, user experience, and digital marketing. Meanwhile, I have always been passionate of visual design, so I've been working and learning graphic and digital design for more than 5 years now. After becoming an advanced user of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, I recently started dipping my toes in the universe of motion graphics and 3D, creating with After Effects and Blender. My second strongest side is my love for working with and for people. I strive in social teams and deeply value a focus on teamwork. However, due to my experience as a freelancer through the years, I'm adapting easily to working independently and managing projects by myself. Also, due to my freelance experience, I work best when I am involved in client meetings, have the possibility to take lead in projects, and form a collaborative relationship between the team and external stakeholders. Moreover, I am one of those people others would call a rebel. I want to challenge the way our world works and tackle social issues that are especially close to my heart through my work.

FEUM

Jun 2019 – Present

Aarhus, Denmark

Graphic & digital designer

FEUM is my passion project and a playground for visual exploration. Music has always been close to my soul, so it comes naturally to combine sound with visuals. My goal with that is to create beyond ordinary experiences and freedom of boundaries. At FEUM I'm one of the board members, I'm coordinating volunteers and first and foremost I create our visual identity in print and digital. My day-to-day job is to create digital assets for events and social media. Every now and then I refresh the visual identity in print, create merch, and update the website design. One of my biggest projects was to build from scratch a ticketing platform in collaboration with a developer. Here I managed the project, designed the experience and interface, and test in iterations.FEUM is my passion project and a playground for visual exploration.

USE Studio

Jun 2022 – Sep 2022

Aarhus, Denmark

Digital design intern

During my internship at USE, I worked with social media for a youth focus CBD brand, where I developed concepts for social media content, art-directed photoshoots, designed graphics, and scheduled social media content. Furthermore, I was challenged to create my first motion video project, a case presentation of a brand identity created by USE. I started by creating storyboards, researching transitions, and designing ways of visualizing the process and results of the brand identity. Next, I moved to After Effects to make animate and develop my ideas. Lastly, I participated in different brand explorations, researching and designing possible identities using brand boards.

Sweetkitchen Engros

Oct 2019 – Jan 2021

Hornslet, Denmark

Multimeda designer

Sweetkitchen had me explore colors and develop a visual identity suiting both digital and print in the universe of sweets. My focus was on graphic design, packaging design, and email marketing (with a twist of product photography which was so much fun for me). I became particularly good at Illustrator, the software settings for print, and the print processes. Apart from that, I learned a great deal about communication with people who don't talk design.Sweetkitchen had me explore colors and develop a visual identity suiting both digital and print in the universe of sweets.
