Carlota Vidal Cantavella
Freelance Graphic and Web Designer
Barcelona, SpainHi! My name is Carlota Vidal and I'm a graphic and web designer.
I've studied a Degree in Multimedia Engineering in Barcelona which has given me technical knowledge as a front-end developer. But what I really love though is being a designer. Therefore I've extended my studies finishing a Master degree in Branding.
Because of my lack of studies in graphic design, I've had to take some lessons, internships, and work in several projects to improve my skills. Thanks to all these, I've gain a lot of experience and a very good base to start with.
I consider myself a sociable person, also perfectionist and self-demanding with my work. But I still have a lot to learn, and because there is a lot of room for improvement, my goal is to work for some company where I could grow professionally.
I also can work in some other things such as video edition and visual effects, and I'm passionate about photography and music. I love to mix all these areas.
