My achievements are my happy clients who come back to me with new projects. Since all projects were completed on time, customers received fast and responsive communication, and the uniqueness of the idea did not depend on the budget. I have strong organizational skills, and thanks to this, I was able to independently manage several projects at the same time and work within tight deadlines. Working in different styles and researching for each client helped to make the project unique and find a new approach to the task at hand. My functions: • create digital illustrations in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator • create animations for videos and websites in adobe After Effects • develop character concepts and backgrounds for animated videos • development of marketing materials for printing • digital advertising in the form of illustrations or animations • illustrations for the design of articles in blogs and mass media • illustrations and animation for the website • creation of packaging and label design • illustrations for music album covers and social media design for musicians • presentation and explanation of my idea and creative process to the client • create original content for the brand and for life • creating storyboards • working with the video content in Adobe Premiere Pro
