Matia Gobbo

Freelance Graphic designer

London, United Kingdom
I am an italian graphic designer based in London with a strong passion for creativity in all of its forms and this always keeps me interested in researching new ideas. As a designer I like working in different sectors of visual communication, such as digital design, branding, typography and photography.
I have experience in digital - UI/UX design, responsive design, mobile app design - as well as in branding/visual identity creation. I’ve got knowledge of HTML5, CSS3, some JQUERY, and Wordpress. I also have experience both in studio/outdoor photography, as well as post-production and re-touching.
I have a friendly personality, and I love working in a team, believing that sharing knowledge with other designers is the best way to learn and improve. I am able to manage projects from the concept until the final delivery, managing more junior members of the team as well as following developers during the built. I feel confortable working under pressure delivering projects within tight deadlines.
