Peter Bagi Designs
New York, NY, USAI am an Art Director and Photographer based in NYC and here is why I think you should hire me:
I breath design and photography with a constant need to learn, grow and create. If I’m not working on client projects then I’m creating art for friends or my home or writing about inspirational things I come across on the internet.
For the last 8-10 years I have been working as a freelancer in the role of Art Director and Graphic Designer and also taking up my passion for photography and turning into a business shooting food and lifestyle subjects.
During this time I have taken projects at all stages but mainly I’ve worked right from the conceptualization phase where I’ve taken on a business development role as well.
I am proficient in several of the Adobe CS products ( Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop and recently started learning and dabbling in Premiere Pro).
I am also very comfortable with technology and readily adapt to emerging technologies.
Great design is only one step to a successful brand. You need to reach your audience & initiate action. This is what I’m most passionate about.
