I'm looking to create strong visual communication across branding, campaigns, social media, print, marketing, and event design, while applying AI-assisted production with hands-on art direction and final design control.

@jacklymasengi
Senior Graphic Designer with 19+ years of experience in branding, marketing, social media & AI-assisted creative production.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered visual communication for the Provincial Governments of North Sulawesi and Manado, including social media, public information, large-format materials, event communications, and institutional identities. My UI/UX work for the PANADA geospatial application contributed to recognition in the Bhumandala Awards and Indonesia's Top 99 and Top 45 Public Service Innovations in 2019.
At Paradise Hotel Golf & Resort, I create campaign-ready marketing and social media visuals for hospitality, golf, dining, and recreation. I combine AI-generated and enhanced assets with hands-on Photoshop compositing, retouching, typography, layout, and final artwork production.
Across hotel, technology, government, event, and corporate projects, I've built brand identities, logos, pitch decks, company profiles, print collateral, billboards, banners, and digital interfaces. I also taught Visual Communication Design and Digital Marketing at Politeknik Negeri Manado, translating design principles into practical student projects.
My early foundation in architecture and technical drawing helps me turn complex requirements into clear, practical visual solutions. I retain human art direction and production control while using generative AI to explore and develop visual assets.
