What I'm looking for
Hello, my name is Diana Jurksta, and I’m a graphic designer and illustrator from Latvia with over 7 years of experience in the creative industry.
I began my design career in 2018 as an intern at SIA “Top Media”, and since then I’ve worked across various roles — from freelance design projects to corporate content design. At 'Accenture', I worked as a Content Designer for the UK company 'Vodafone', collaborating closely with stakeholders and copywriters while mastering tools like Figma and Sketch.
After moving to Australia, I joined 'Retinova', creating visual assets and marketing materials for their skincare brand, and later worked with 'Pawshake', focusing on social media content and marketing visuals. Alongside these roles, I’ve continued to work freelance for more than five years, developing creative solutions across digital and print media.
I’m passionate about creating visually engaging designs that tell a story and connect with people.
Hope this helps with getting to know me better and I'm looking forward to hearing back from you!
