ABOUT ME
*Hello! I'm Monica, a Graphic Designer based in the United Kingdom. I love to explore culture and community through typography, photography, editorial and identity design. I am skilled within Adobe Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop. I also have experience with Premiere Pro, Figma, Glyphs, Canva and basic HTML.
I graduated from BA Graphic Design at Manchester School of Art in July 2025. During my time at MSoA, I found a love for branding, marketing and publication design, through working with aAh! Magazine, and exploring visual identity design for campaigns + brands within university briefs.
I have taken on a range of exciting opportunities to grow and develop as a designer, from volunteer roles and internships to live briefs and collaborative projects.
