Ceri Shearn

I am a hardworking, creative, experimental designer who enjoys visual

communication, particularly social media campaigns, brand identities, motion

graphics, working with print and website design. I enjoy using both analogue and

digital processes, being methodical and practical to create impactful, user friendly

graphics, as well as creatively push the boundaries of design. I have recently

graduated from the University of Brighton with a degree in Graphic Design and I am

pursuing a career in graphic communications design. Additionally I am partaking in

an online course in my spare time to advance my UX and UI design knowledge and

also expanding my motion graphic abilities. Please see my website for my portfolio.
