Archana Arjun

Graphic Designer

London, United Kingdom
I’m a Graphic Design professional who is in a constant search for creative challenges within a dynamic and fast paced working environment. Over the years of experience, I’ve mastered the art of directing designs, right from initial conceptualisation to final delivery, for all kinds of branding collaterals. I’m also passionate about motion graphics and have done few explainer/short video animations. I define myself as a go-getter and an ‘out-of-the-box’ thinker, who is ambitious, confident and self-motivated.
