Debora Finkler

Spreading the word!

I'm 24 years old and I have graduated in Social Communications, with Bachelor to Advertising and Marketing. I'm a graphic designer since 2003. Currently I'm working in a Identification Card and Access Control company in the Bay Area, but I love to get design job as a free lancer! I'm also a Handicraft worker, I paint statues and wood materials and I knit scarfs! I'm also a figure roller skater for 15 years.
