Jessica Parker

Graphic Designer

Pontevedra, Spain
I'm a freelance graphic designer and creative practitioner working between the UK and Spain. I have over nine years experience in print and digital design, honing my skills in various industries including the charity sector, data center and technology, and wholesale. Each of these have given me the opportunity to work on campaigns, editorial, product packaging, marketing, social media, motion graphics and art direction. I have recently been involved in community engagement projects as well, using creative methods to develop peoples' skills and explore sustainable and resilient futures.
