About

Hi there, my name is Simone (she/her). I'm a digital marketing specialist and freelance artist with 5+ years of marketing and design for social media and print/digital campaigns. From the office to the internet, I love the challenge of meeting new people and winning them over. I use my skills as a top-notch communicator to write compelling short form copy for social and web, and design cutting-edge graphics to accompany my work with visual storytelling. As a designer, I work primarily within Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop and Apple Procreate. I am currently teaching myself how to animate in Procreate and Adobe After Effects. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of British Columbia and a Certificate in Digital Marketing from RED Academy, both in Vancouver, B.C. I am looking to strengthen and develop my skill sets in digital illustration via freelance career opportunities.
