About
This is Katerina Damskiy, a passionate Graphic Designer with intensive knowledge and experience in print, web design and graphics, production, publishing and pre-press.
Diverse industries include: retail, fashion, sports, music, education, architecture, entertainment and finance.
I have Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts and 10 years of creative experience.
I have skills in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign), MS Office (PowerPoint and Word) on Mac and PC OS.
I have displayed great experience working on any projects and handle them from initial concept to print production.
I work well with a team or on my own; know when to take charge and to take orders from others. I have great communication, presentation and organizational skills.
I have acquired a sense of responsibility and have dealt with working under pressure and time constraints.
I am looking forward to take a challenge and find the position that will give me the opportunity to further expand my capabilities to be a project leader and assist others.
I am available for a full time work almost immediately. -
