As a dedicated and driven individual with a passion for graphic design, I am excited to share my journey and aspirations in this personal statement. My journey began in 2008 at the Universidad de Ciencias Comerciales (UCC) in Nicaragua. Through rigorous coursework and hands-on experiences, I cultivated a solid foundation in design, particularly focusing on photo manipulation.
In my 12 years of professional experience, I've had the opportunity to participate in important campaigns and personal projects that have helped me grow and polish my skills. One particular project I spearheaded involved the creation of the 75th-anniversary video for Clement's Worldwide in Washington DC, where I demonstrated my ability in video editing and motion graphics. These experiences have honed my skills in illustration, photography, photo editing, video editing, and animation, enabling me to approach challenges with creativity and determination.
What truly fuels my passion for graphic design is exploring beyond my comfort zone and learning new techniques to achieve better results. Whether it's through photography or video editing, I am constantly inspired by advertisements that utilize photo manipulation to create outstanding visuals.
Looking ahead, my goal is to continue learning about new design techniques, which are constantly being updated, and to become a mentor for the future generation of graphic designers. I aim to demonstrate to them that amazing creations can be achieved with limited resources and that everything depends on one's creativity and skills.
