About
I’m a creative graphic designer with over 15 years’ experience within the industry; graduated from the Technical School of Plastic Arts “Eloy Palacios” in Maturin, Venezuela. I have also completed number of professional courses of graphic design and related software. During my studies I received my first job offer to work as a web designer. Then in 2002 I moved to the United States to further develop my career. That’s where I strengthened my knowledge of vector design as well as plotter printing. After America I began working as graphic designer at an advertising company in Canary Islands, Spain. Working there enabled me to expand my knowledge about print design. I am currently established in Israel with my beloved husband and continue working in my career area, learning and developing every day new wonderful stuff about design in all its forms, print and web from Logo design to UI & UX design.
I like to design using Photoshop and Illustrator. I have also knowledge on Balsamiq Mockups to create sketch during the UX process. For web-mastering I like to use Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash having knowledge on HTML, CSS, jQuery, Action Scrip (Flash) and PHP so I can comfortable work with programmers and have an easy and clean working flow, but what I really like is to go into the fascinating world of understanding user's needs and transforming that into an effective, friendly and beautiful front-end design.
