Graphic Designer Design

MISHA GIBSON

“the russian”

I have been a very creative art loving person all my life. As I’ve grown I’ve discovered a more technical and mathematical side of myself. Graphic design and front end development helped me to combine those two sides. I have been doing print and digital design for almost 10 years now. I enjoy the most modern, flat style of design.

I also love a challenge! I will happily push myself out of my comfort zone and try new things. Front End development is a recent addition to my skill set. I’ve been doing this for nearly 4 years. I started by learning HTML and CSS on my own, but then attended school and received certifications in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I am currently working on a degree in software development. Graphic design and front end development are a very big part of my life even outside of the office. I spend my free time learning new techniques and studying the work of my peers within both fields.

WORK

I truly love to work on long term projects (contact and/or full time positions)! Working with the same company for a long time allows me to learn more about their design aesthetic and style. My goal is to bring in my creativity, skill, and design style to a company while providing them with work that meets their highest expectations. I feel comfortable working onsite or offsite. I make sure to communicate with a team and/or manager often and clearly to achieve the best results.

FREELANCE GRAPHIC DESIGNER May 2005 - present

Over the past 9 years I have work with a lot of different people, creating all sorts of designs. From wedding invitations to WordPress websites - I’v done it all. I feel like freelance work gives me an opportunity to express my own design style more. At the same time freelance helps me to be a better listener and teaches me to understand my clients better.
