About Me — Ailsa Smith

Hey, I’m Ailsa,

I’m a graphic design graduate with a passion for creating beautiful and functional designs. I have always been fascinated by the power of design to communicate ideas and messages in a clear and impactful way. I pride myself with my ability to manage my time effectively, prioritise tasks, and meet deadlines. I understand the importance of being reliable and delivering high quality work in a timely manner. I have a passion for both the visual and conceptual side of graphic design and I understand how paramount research and strategy is for creating a well rounded project.

I have just finished my final year studying at Arts University Bournemouth. Throughout my studies, I have honed my skills in various design software such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I have picked up skills in AfterEffects and developed a campaign piece to raise awareness for period poverty in the UK, which has won a bronze creative Creative Conscience award. I also have began to pick up more of an understanding of blender and have developed some 3d products to support my project.

I have developed a strong understanding of design principles, typography, colour theory, and branding. My portfolio showcases a range of projects that I have worked on including branding, packaging design and campaign strategy. I take pride in my ability to listen to the brief and translate that into a visual representation that effectively communicates a message.

I am open to new challenges and opportunities, so please feel free to drop me an email!
