Hello, I’m Celia!

My graphic design journey began in early 2022 — I never thought I'd be pursuing a degree in art for my career since it was merely just one of my hobbies for a long time. But as I dived into the world of arts & designs, I realized literally everything is related to them - even the most mundane aspects of our everyday surroundings. It literally is everywhere — from the NYC subway map and the packaging of our favorite chocolate bars to the logos of the apps we use daily, and much more.

And that’s when I began to see how truly impactful art can be. Simple elements like lines, shapes, and colors can turn into countless combinations and possibilities, in which they serve as a mean of communication tool that surpass all language barriers; and I aim to combine these elements to convey messages and ideas in unique and creative ways.

Experience & Proficiency

With about 3+ of graphic design experience, I have developed a strong foundation in design principles and honed my skills through hands-on experience with various projects. I am highly proficient in Adobe Creative Suite applications, including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Express, as well as other design software such as Blender, Cinema 4D, Figma, and Procreate. My projects include but are not limited to logo design, advertising and branding materials, posters, digital illustrations, motion graphics, product designs, and related social media graphics. I ensure that each design is visually appealing and effectively communicates the intended message, and I am always open to exploring new techniques and staying updated with the current industry trends.
