Jovanna Mendes de Souza
Graphic Designer
London, United KingdomA designer knows he has achieved perfection
not when there is nothing left to add,
but when there is nothing left to take away.
(Antoine de Saint Exupéry)
I'm a Graphic Designer with a MA (hons) in Communication Design and a huge passion for print and typography. With over 5 years of working the industry as both Graphic Designer and Artworker – I have great experience of all steps in print production. I'm used to follow through from initial idea to finished printed product and I know what's required for a truly successful print. I love designing icons as they are the perfect merge between typography and illustration, informational yet decorative and simplistic.
