THEODORA TSAFOU Graphic Designer
Until early 2023, I was working as an Art Director and Editorial Designer for a B2B company dealing with the tourism sector, digital publishing, digital media and the organisation of exhibitions around tourism. My role at the company was designing and editing all of the company’s digital publications (Greek tourism newspaper, B2B tourism magazines in both Greek and English), as well as work efficiently on a wide range of projects (such as designing advertisements, posters, corporate brochures, web banners etc), using mainly InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat Pro. I was able to meet deadlines to effectively promote the company and its clients. I am a passionate, self-motivated individual, always striving for the best possible visual result. I am a teamwork player and I can also work independently. Despite my 20 years of experience, I am eager to learn new things in order to improve and broaden my skills. I am looking for opportunities that will expand my knowledge and experience.
