Shani Sibrian
Graphic Designer — Los Angeles, CA
About
I am a hardworking individual who enjoys working on projects to expand my knowledge and creativity. I have had a strong passion for art since I was a little girl. My talent has expended as i began taking art classes in school where I learned to paint with acrylic, oil, watercolor, drawing with pastels, using scratchboard, and finally acquiring computer software skills using Adobe Creative Suite. Because of my love for art, I attended the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising of Los Angeles where I successfully completed an Associates Degree in Graphic Design.
My administrative skills are strong due to my 7+ years of expertise using: Microsoft Office, being organized when filing paperwork, and gaining quick knowledge on new software used in the office. I also follow the procedures of the office on how to properly help customers and keep information updated.
