Kiki in a few words
Hello. I am an all-around creative with nearly 20 years of experience in the business, having dipped my toes in various mediums over the years, from Advertising to TV, Video to E-learning and various art projects in between.
Having started training in classical art in high school and University, in no time, I found myself exploring the digital side of it and developing a passion for graphic design and digital illustration.
I particularly enjoy coming up with visual solutions to any project put in front of me, approaching it from every artistic angle, like composition and colour, and also practical. I love a creative challenge journey, finding endless answers and possibilities and learning along the way.
I am proficient and very skilled in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign, but also knowledgeable of pre and post-production programs like Acrobat and Office and eager to learn anything thrown at me.
One other passion of mine is also video, and I have acquired along the years various skills, from handling a camera and arranging a shoot to editing and post-production effects like titles and animation, but also exporting for various mediums. I have extensive knowledge of programs like Adobe Premiere, After Effects and various encoding programs, but also constantly learning and playing in other 2D and 3D suites.
I believe my greatest asset is the fact that being a classic artist at heart that draws on practical experience, I will always endeavour to create a balanced and accomplished visual projection of any brief that is put in front of me, making it unique and personal, just as you would do by drawing someone’s portrait.
