"A Graphic Designer ... So you make logos?"

There are lots of things a Graphic Designer is trained to do apart from making visually appealing logos.

UI/UX, Motion Design, Print and Web Layout, Web Design, Multimedia Design and many other skills are taught throughout three years of full-time study with industry professionals, along with what unique projects we encounter in the workplace.

Below you can find details on what I know and what I've learned over the span of my design career.
