Professional Graphic Designer
Welcome Hello! I’m Rene, a professional graphic designer based in Philippines. I have been designing different design projects for 6 years in my profession from print, website layout design, and social media design. I use the latest Adobe Creative Cloud design softwares like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Muse, and Experience Design when I work. My design approach is mostly hipster, minimalism, flat, and material design yet I am still open to anymore design knowledge to further develop my proficiency in this field. In other words, with my experience in both technical and creativity, I am confident to say that, I acquire the skills set that let me become an essential component in your company. To explain further my design skills, I created this design portfolio which contains my curated works before until the present time. Thank you and I can’t wait to roam you around here.
