KT Hiong

[ Be Creative, Be No Limit in Design ]
 

I'm KT, a Graphic Designer with around 4 years of experience in designing and 1 year of experience in printing.

I'm detail-oriented, time-managed, independent, a team player, eager to learn, mad, and crazy in creating designs. I love to create different types of marketing collaterals (e.g posters, flyers, banners, social media EDMs) and I enjoy a lot in the whole process of design starting from brief, summarizing main points, draft and conceptualizing ideas into visual graphics that deliver the true messages to target audiences. 

I am familiar with creative suites such as Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and, AfterEffects (basic knowledge). Besides that, I have basic knowledge of using Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, and Microsoft Word.

My best “lecturers” are YouTube and Google. When I suffer some difficulty in designing, I will always Google to find out the solutions. I firmly believe, finding out solutions by myself can help me grow further than where I am.

I'm proud that my artworks are one of your problem-solving tools, and I'm happy that I can see my artworks shared around across multiple platforms. Besides designing, I also love to explore and learn new knowledge such as IT, 3D rendering, and CSS/HTML coding. 

I hope I can have a chance to be part of your team. We work, we suffer, we enjoy the process, and embark on our future together!
