At Affinity X, I joined a fantastic team of designers, collaborating with clients from diverse accounts. This role helped me expand my skills with design programs like Flexitive, ResponsiveAds, Google Web Designer, and Adobe Animate. I also earned badges through the AffinityX AXcelerate Program by completing learning courses.
To boost our team’s efficiency, I developed an automated file naming formula using LibreOffice Calc. Additionally, I spent two months at Vista Print in Pune, India, gaining valuable print design experience. I created custom templates on their Canva-like platform and personalized designs for clients. Fun fact: Vista Print acquired 99Designs in 2020, where I’ve freelanced as a logo designer since 2017, enriching my portfolio and client interactions.

Senior Associate Graphic Designer
[January 2022 - June 2023]
During my time at TGC Auto Parts, I had the chance to be a one-man team, creating engaging content that's both eye-catching and tailored to our audience. I used my creativity to craft compelling social media captions and designs that grabs attention.
In addition to designing, I served as a photographer, capturing great images of our products and customers in-store. I handled uploading products to online platforms like Lazada, Shopee, and Facebook Shop, and I made sure to monitor and respond to customer’s comments on social media, and I update our online support team when someone made a feedback or comment on our products. I also managed their Facebook Page, posting promotions and marketing designs that I created, and for us to boost our engagement, I developed the tagline "Basta TGC. Tatak #TiGaCin," which has become a brand identifier. If you search for #TiGaCin on Facebook, you’ll see many of my designs showcasing the brand's presence and appeal!

[August 2013 - June 2018]
While I have a solid foundation in design, there are a few areas I’m actively working to improve such as: UI/UX, Web Design, 3D Design, and advanced video editing and animation (including 3D) are fields I’m eager to dive deeper into. I also don’t use Adobe InDesign that much, since InDesign and Illustrator is both capable of doing print layouts, but I’m open to expanding my skills in this area.
I see these as great growth opportunities that will help me become an even more versatile designer in the future. Growth Opportunities
