I'm offering
Hi I'm Anna, I have over 15 years' experience in the design industry and have lived and worked in a number of countries including Abu Dhabi, Sydney and Egypt. I have been involved in projects ranging from traditional print-based marketing to exhibition graphics, e-commerce and online media and have produced designs and led projects for many companies large and small. Clients include; TOTAL, GASCO, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company and Alliance Français and smaller SMEs and startups.
I have a extensive understanding of branding and user experience across web and print which has been key to producing strong on and offline brand-led campaigns for my clients past and present.
Interpreting clients’ visions and building lasting relationships is perhaps my most valuable quality that I am continually developing.
I am enthusiastic and optimistic and love what I do, with an infectious energy and an uncompromising work ethic.
