Designer and struggling student in Toronto, ON, Canada
Hey there, I'm Andrea, a graphic designer and struggling student - all at the same time, I know. I enjoy a little bit of everything from walking my dog to utilizing every Goodfood coupon I can find to make stellar meals for fiancé. I currently work at the Design Fabrication Zone at Ryerson University where I am the branding strategist. Wonder what that means? Essentially, I'm in charge of all things digital - from our social media campaigns, design and internal/external communication. Since the DFZ recently launched a re-brand, it has been my duty to help streamline the new brand and replace the old one. When I'm not at the DFZ, you can find me working on my practicum project for my fourth and final year as a Media Production student at Ryerson. Here, my group and I are creating an animation called Fauna - an adventure series about overcoming challenges and trying to get home after a forest mysteriously takes over the town. My role on Fauna is that of Marketing Lead - where I delegate tasks to other struggling students to make something amazing. If you think my plate isn't full enough - hold on! I also do freelance design, where I'm working towards my end goal of becoming a product designer. Help me get from coupons to cash by checking out my portfolio, and hopefully we can both create a digital asset we're proud of!
