Greetings.

I am Stephanie, and I am an Indigenous Graphic / Web Designer from the Gold Coast, Australia. I am looking for hybrid or remote style work where possible, to have a healthy balance of work and home life.

I am currently working for BRANDiT Marketing, where I am the Senior Graphic Designer – working alongside the Account Managers and PR & Media Managers to create anything and everything their clients are after, which covers, but not limited to: Brand Development, Stationery and Promotional Material Development, Website Design and Development, Social Media Development, Photography – Head Shots, Lifestyle Shots, Photo Editing. 

Prior I was working for @realty for 6+ years, as a Graphic Designer in property marketing, which job entails, but not limited to; creating marketing for our 750+ agents throughout Australia, including, but not limited to: UX and UI Designing, Creating Brand and Style Guides for Oasis Agencies, Brochures, Signboards, Newspaper, Logos, EDM, Social Media, Website Design, Product Templates and Mock Ups, creating GIFs and HTML5 Banner Ads for the company. Sticking to a timeline of completing jobs within 4 hours. This year, within our KPI ticket system, I have completed over 3000 jobs within 2021, with 90% of the jobs completed within the 4 hours.

Working freelance on Social Media, Graphics and Websites – from landing spaces, portfolios to ecommerce – in my spare time, showcases my dedication to sticking to strict deadline, time management and my ability to work remotely without compromising my productivity.

I also work freelance for a local art studio, where I tutor classes, run their social media, manage their website and other class platforms, event signage, event photography and sell my own artwork and prints.

I strive to continuously upgrade my skill set, in 2021 I enrolled in Code Like a Girl: Foundation of Web Development, I have my Diploma in Photo Imaging, alongside, an Associate Degree in Applied Design; majoring in Branded Fashion. And currently I am completing two more short courses through Code Like a Girl, in C# and Python Coding.

My days are spent within the Adobe Creative Suite: Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom and InDesign, I have dabbled a small amount in Figma, After Effects, Premiere Pro and Final Cut, but always wanting to learn more in those programs. I have used InDesign and Photoshop in the past to create HTML5 ad. I am also proficient on Google Workspace, using google docs, sheets, drive and slides daily.

Within websites, I work mostly on wordpress, but have experience on websites such as Shopify, Wix and Squarespace.
