About

I'm a Graphic Designer with Marketing experience, specialising in visual communication and branding.

I come from a multicultural background and work comfortably in international environments and across multiple languages on a daily basis. I moved to Switzerland in 2007 to explore the work market in the heart of Europe and now permanently reside in the city of Zurich. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Service Management and Tourism from 2007, but I redirected my career to international Marketing after relocating. I’m currently finishing a second B.A. in Graphic Design to further specialise in visual concepts and design. My professional strengths lie within corporate communication, branding concepts and graphic design.

I work majorly across the latest Adobe CS programs; Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign - but also create documents regularly in MS-Office, depending on user needs. I can build websites in several online based CMS-systems and work in depth with UX and Web Design. As a person I am outgoing and charismatic, with a hard-working mindset but also recognizing the importance of social interactions and work-life balance.

Merck Communication Branding

Graphic projects for Merck/MSD:
- iLEAD: learning program at MSD (Merck)
- Newsletter headers developed for regional communication team

Graphic Design and file management of project "I Learn and Develop" (ILEAD) for Merck/MSD. Initial Logo creation and booklet background elements were made by an external creative agency "JUST" Logo (T.Koniavitis), Greece. I took over the project and managed & developed the remaining content and elements.

500 Booklets (42 pages) and 2500 mouse pads were printed and distributed across internal offices in Europe. The booklet was made into an online tool on the company intranet and is currently being published on mobile platforms. I was in charge of the project's set up and development from May 2012 to April 2014.
