HELLO!
I am Dora, a highly motivated Graphic Designer who graduated from Coventry University with First Class Honours in 2019.

I love what I am doing and always looking for opportunities to improve myself. My favourite areas are
logos, brandings and packaging designs and recently started a new project of creating little illustrations to cheer myself and others up.
I am also really interested in traditional and online
marketing and currently learning about this topic in my free time.
Feel free to contact me if you are looking for someone who works quickly and passionately and ready to help you with any design challenges.
