These traits, combined with an education from Pratt Institute, technical skills and 10+ years of agency and in-house experience working in the US and Europe, are what set me apart from others. What people say about me... "Emily has a talent for directing the client through the creative process and providing educated solutions to their pain points". "She's one of the most talented, creative, and collaborative designers I've ever had the pleasure to work with". "Emily is hardwired to design and create, and it shows in her work...Her personality can make the most mundane of projects fun". "She has that rare ability to see the big picture while still attending to the details". *Six hospitality traits identified by Danny Meyer.

    I'm a multidisciplinary graphic designer and web developer with over a decade of experience working in branding, print, UX, and web design. I started my career working in logo design and specialty printing and have spent the past nine years in the publishing industry doing a mix of print and digital design. As the art and web director for World Literature Today magazine, I managed all aspects of design for the print and online edition of the magazine including cover design, page layout, typesetting, ad design, marketing campaigns, newsletters, and more. I ignited the magazine's online communication strategies and increased website visits by over 33% and expanded the magazine's social media following from 500 to over 450,000 followers. At WLT I also developed and designed a suite of websites for the organization using Wordpress, Drupal, and Shopify among other content management systems. I was selected as one of Folio:’s 15 Under 30 in 2012, received the 2018 Waintroob/Meyers Superior Performance Award from the University of Oklahoma, and won a 2019 Creaties Award as the leader of several WordPress web development projects. As part of WLT’s editorial team, my design work for the Summer 2019 Climate Issue was recognized in a 2019 APEX Award for Excellence. For my freelance work for the University of Oklahoma Libraries, my design work received a 2018 Oklahoma Museum Associate Award and a 2017 American Library Association PR XChange Award. I received a BA in Advertising from the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Oklahoma with a minor in Italian.

    “Excellent and very patient. Aleksa pays a lot of attention to detail and has a passion for his work.” “Aleksa is absolutely fantastic! He's a visionary. He has clear and precise communication. He's about getting your project right!” "I am beyond excited. My fiance thought I was having an affair because the communication with this guy was just so great! The world needs to experience his greatness!” I'm an architecture student, but have taken a bit of a turn towards graphic design. I am very good at translating this knowledge into commercial design, giving me the edge needed to stand out. I'm proficient in print and advertising material, whether it be hard copy or digital. I'm following the latest trends in web and app development, as I've found they're exquisitely intertwined with architectural concepts, so don't hesitate to pitch your idea to me!

    Hi I am a Graphic Designer with over 10 years of experience. Over the years I learned a lot about graphic design, and that gave me a solid foundation to develop excellent design skills. I spent over five years working for one of the biggest retail companies in my country as a leading Designer. During that period, I gain tremendous experience in print design (posters, flyers, brochures, catalogs, leaflets, corporate design, postcards, banners, etc) and product retouching. After retail, I worked for one creative agency, which allowed me to learn new things in that environment. I learned the value of upfront and timely communication with clients. I always ensure that all clients are 100% satisfied with my work. Now I am here on Upwork, starting my career as a freelancer :) My specialties now include designing and developing all print and web design materials, company branding, logos, vector works, business card design, and promotional materials including print materials, brochures, posters, banners, flyers, and displays. In the past two years, I have gained more experience in photo editing and product retouching. I am always open to suggestions and like to learn something new that will allow me to perfect my design skills. If you give me the opportunity to work for you, I’ll do my best to justify your confidence and give my best contribution to the success of your project. Hope to hear from you one of these days!

    I believe that design is not just about aesthetics, but about creating experiences that connect with audiences and leave a lasting impression. I have always been fascinated by the power of design to shape the world around us. Whether it's a brand mark that instantly communicates a company's unique identity or a website that engages visitors and drives conversions, I believe that great design has the ability to transform businesses and change lives. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with clients from a wide range of industries, including technology, finance, retail, hospitality and security to name a few. I approach each project with a fresh perspective, taking the time to understand the client's goals and ambitions before diving into the design process. My style is clean, modern, and minimalist, with a focus on the seamless synergy between typography, eye-catching imagery, and colour. I believe that the key to effective design is simplicity, and I strive to create designs that are not only visually striking but also easy to understand and use. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page and I hope to work with you on your next project.

    More than a decade in shameless self-promotion has honed my skills for exactly what you need. A film student in college I specialized at the time in screenwriting and video editing / sound design, quickly becoming the first choice editor for every “auteur filmmaker” who didn’t have the time to piece together her masterpiece. Editing for pizza, essentially, I wound up working as the head graphic/web designer for the university department of recreations. From small projects promoting intramurals to creating all media for the ACIS Flag Football National Championships it was my first real step into the fields of graphic design and branding. Instead of seeking professional work in the field after graduation I instead decided to fulfill a much less professional field known as stand-up comedy for the next decade. Stand-up comedy, a ruthless world of DIY self-promotion on a shoestring budget. Over the years I made use of the skills I entertained in college and put them to the test creating hundreds of gig posters, facebook announcements, registry-lapsed websites, and quickly abandoned podcasts. Every unique project and reinvention pushing me further than I was interested in and in less time than I probably needed. I’ve written sketch shows, punched up scripts, edited feature length films you’ve never heard of, and designed touring merch, cd and dvd inserts, fake chick tracts, newspaper stips, longterm partnership proposals for brand sponsors, business cards, and more postcard sized promotion handouts than I care to remember. My toolbox includes: Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere, InDesign, Final Draft, Wordpress, Content Writing, and Soup-to-Nuts brand construction. Now that I’m off the road I have decided to put this experience to good use and to seek out content creators and small businesses who could benefit from my experience. More than just quick one offs though, I would ultimately like to build sustainable relationships with these clients as we grow together. I work quick. I’m not afraid to take risks. And above all else I want to make you happy with the work that I do. You deserve it.
