A Bit About Me

Hello there! I'm Nineesha, a Digital Designer with over 7 years of experience in the field. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work and grow in this ever-evolving industry. Throughout my journey, I've been driven by a genuine passion for design, constantly seeking ways to enhance my skills and knowledge. I hold a master's degree in design and digital media, from The University of Edinburgh, along with a bachelor's degree in computer science engineering, which has provided me with a solid foundation to explore the creative and technical aspects of design.

Over the past 8+ years, I've been privileged to work with the Adobe Creative Suite, refining my abilities to craft captivating designs. While I'm proud of my achievements, I believe there's always more to learn and explore in the realm of design. One of the aspects I enjoy most about design is the opportunity to create hand-drawn artwork with meticulous attention to detail. It's a gratifying experience to witness how even the smallest intricacies can significantly impact the final result.

Throughout my career, collaboration, and teamwork have played a crucial role in my growth as a designer. I've had the pleasure of working alongside incredibly talented individuals who have inspired me to push the boundaries of my creativity. As I continue on this creative journey, I cherish the diverse projects I've been a part of, from concept to completion. Each project has taught me valuable lessons, and I approach new challenges with a willingness to learn and grow.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. I'm genuinely excited about the opportunity to contribute my skills and creativity to projects that can make a positive impact. Let's work together to bring your design visions to life!
