Creative graphic designer with 6 years of experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic and adaptable Senior Graphic Designer with six years of experience conceptualising and executing high-impact visual campaigns. I am not simply interested in executing tasks; I am fascinated by the process of connecting seemingly disconnected concepts to create something innovative. I thrive in remote and collaborative environments where I can take full ownership of my projects, from the initial ideation phase to final delivery.
In my current role at ProAgri Media, I function within a collaborative network of five sister agencies to oversee end-to-end design operations. Rather than solely managing internal corporate branding, I deliver targeted design work for external B2B clients in the agriculture, construction, and safari industries – managing major flagship accounts such as Mahindra Tractors and LiuGong Africa. Handling a high-throughput queue, I seamlessly transition between executing massive environmental designs like billboards and large format printing, polishing corporate presentation packs, designing high-volume social media variations (producing 65+ designs per platform monthly), and executing sophisticated editorial layouts for print magazines. In crunch-time, I also utilise AI tools such as Photoshop Generative AI Tools, Adobe Firefly, and Gemini Advanced for content creation.
My earlier experience laid the foundation for this versatility. At Asbestikum Industrial Communications, I honed my technical skills by delivering compelling digital campaigns, motion graphics, and even spearheading the UI/UX design for a client job portal. Furthermore, through my independent freelance work and time at Zipcord Industries and NuHuman Transformation Clinic, I developed a strong sense of autonomy. I am highly accustomed to asynchronously managing website rebuilds, brand development, and content strategies, ensuring that external clients and internal stakeholders are always aligned.
I am proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, XD, and Premiere Pro, and I have experience using Figma. I am a learner at heart who is always exploring new digital transformations, such as migrating print publications to web-friendly formats using tools like Ajar In5.
I would love the opportunity to bring my blend of creative strategy, technical versatility, and remote-work discipline to your team. You can view my portfolio at heinrich-jansen.myportfolio.com. I look forward to discussing how my background aligns with your vision
