Graphic Designer — St. Louis, MO
About
Hi There! I’m Deb, a St. Louis based Graphic Designer.
I was born and raised in Brazil, but moved to the U.S. for more opportunity in life. So far, so good!
I attended a technical high school in Brazil, which taught me everything about Graphic Arts, from beginning (creation) to end (printing). I would say that that’s how I began my career in Graphic Designer.
In the U.S. I have achieved both my Associate and Bachelor Degrees. Living in the U.S. for 13 years, learning has become part of my life. I learn something new everyday... a word, a skill, a trick. So adapting to new things has become my specialty.
Outside of work, I spend my time taking photos, reading and listening to music.
I am looking for new opportunities to grow. I would love to join a team that I can expand, create, share and learn.
