Hi! My name is Joanna Ikin, and I am a Graphic Designer. I love working with colour and shapes to create stylish designs. I am forever intrigued with the universality of graphic design, and how stories, emotions and beliefs can be visually represented and shared by many people.
Elements of design constantly surround us, and I am motivated to explore graphic design within the fields of branding and visual identity, advertising and marketing, and its use within digital media.
My philosophy is that great design is a result of intuitive problem solving. Everything within a design should work harmoniously to achieve a communicated goal. The best designs appear effortless - however behind this facade countless decisions and trials were undertaken to arrive at the best possible outcome. I strive to use problem solving to create elegant designs across a wide range of environments.
I have strong understanding of the Adobe Creative Cloud programs - specifically Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign, After Effects and Premiere Pro.
