About Me
Experienced Graphic Designer with a demonstrated history of working in the design industry. Skilled in Graphic Design, Web Design, Art Direction, Typography, Adobe Suite Programs and Video Editing. Strong arts and design professional with a Master’s degree focused in Graphic and spatial design from New Bulgarian University.
Vision - I will remember her with her professional vision for every design task that I gave her. She will have a clear idea what we need, how long it will take to be created, what is the final goal of the design and what we are trying to achieve as a team in the end.
Execution - pixel perfect design, from the start till the end. She made no compromise with her work and everything related to marketing materials. I could ways trust her that her work will be nothing else than perfection.
Perseverance - may be the one quality that I truly appreciated. Hrisanta will never give up on a task. No matter how hard it is, no matter how little information she have, she will continue to work until she is satisfied with the result. If she must, she will redo everything that is created so far, if she decides that this is something that the company or the team will not have the greatest benefit.
I conclusion I would like to say that it was a great honor to work with Hrisanta. She is a spectacular designer and an amazing coworker.
She is not only an especially valuable addition to any marketing team, but also a driving force when it comes to design, creation of corporate brand and brand management. As team manager I worked closely with her and I am very pleased with her ability to work fast and produce high quality products at the same time.
As a passionate designer Hrisanta always seems to have great awareness of new creative strategies and technology, which makes her a great asset to any company. She is a very fast leaner of new products and programs and ready to take any challenge. She has a goal oriented work attitude and that makes her extremely helpful with landing page building and social channels management.
About Me
Hello, I’m Hrisanta – my friends and family call me Santa. I’m 28 years old, my birthday is in December.
In 2008 I’ve graduated from 23rd Secondary School “Frédéric Joliot-Curie” – multilingual class with English, Italian and French. I’ll be honest with you, nowadays I only practice my English, my French and Italian are a little rusty. But I was never really excited about multilingual knowledge. My passion and my true love were always the colors, the brushes, the oil paints, the canvas, watercolors, aquatint, etching, charcoal, pencils, etc.
I’ve decided to pursue my passion and before I knew it, in the summer of 2012 I became Bachelor of Arts (BA) – Fine and Studio Arts in Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”. For those four years I’ve learned a lot, I even developed a new hobby – Photography. That’s how I met my friend Photoshop. In the last semester of my education in Sofia University I had a Graphic Design class, and that was the moment I knew what I want to become when I grow up.
Three months after I graduated from Sofia University I was accepted to study Graphic and Spatial Design in New Bulgarian University. I got my master’s degree in June 2014 where I was the first one in my class to defend a thesis. I am particularly proud of that moment because it was nice character building situation.
Since then I’ve worked on multiple projects on employment contract, and like a freelancer.

– I can listen to all kinds of music, but my top 3 music styles are alternative rock, swing and rock and roll
