What I'm looking for

I seek creative roles where I can design branding and visual materials, collaborate with clients, and grow my freelance and UX visual design experience in a supportive, creative team.

Hello! I am Charissa Mae Dajao, a graphic artist and illustrator who transitioned from teaching to follow a lifelong passion for design.

I began freelancing in 2022 and have worked as a seasonal graphic designer for PlanetArt, developing original concepts in collaboration with clients and applying user-centered design principles.

Previously I taught Technology and Livelihood Education (2018–2023) and advised an Art Club, which strengthened my communication, mentorship, and project organization skills.

I hold a Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Technology & Livelihood Education and have completed online certifications in visual and graphic design; my toolkit includes Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Canva, Figma, and Google/MS productivity tools.
