About Me

Hi! My name is Gabrielle Oliveira and I am a graphic designer from São Paulo, Brazil, based in Oakland, California.

​

I’m seeking a full-time position as a graphic designer.    I am highly detail-oriented, adaptable, and dedicated. My multicultural background also brings a dynamic and unique personality to my work.

​

I thrive on creating memorable brand identities, merchandising designs, and marketing collateral for print and digital platforms. I’m also very interested in editorial design and packaging.

​

When I’m not diving deep into the design world, I love to do kickboxing, bake sweet little treats, travel, attend concerts, and play with my miniature schnauzer puppy.

Education

  • Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication with a focus in Digital Communication at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA)

  • Associate degree in Graphic Design at Shaw Academy

  • Graphic Design course at BBC Maestro with Paula Scher

Experience

During my years in college, I got a lot of design experience, as well as communication skills, and leadership. Here are some of the things I did:

  • I worked as a graphic designer at UTSA’s Student Union, where I created and designed a variety of effective marketing materials for their events and services.

  • I was an Italian tutor and grader for the Modern Language and Literature Department and also did graphic design work for them.

  • I interned in the creative department of GDC Marketing & Ideation over the Summer of 2019, where I worked with multiple clients, engaged in meetings and photo sessions, and designed various assets in both English and Spanish.

  • I studied abroad in Rome, Italy, during Fall 2018, where I worked as a content creator and photographer for the study abroad company’s social media, while taking graphic design and marketing classes.

​

I was highly involved on campus and held several leadership positions such as an Adobe Student Ambassador; the Vice President of The Italian Cultural Society; and the Director of Marketing of Alpha Lambda Delta National Honor Society (ALD).

I’ve been running my own art business for over three years now. I’m proud of how much I learned and accomplished so far, and glad I was able to tie this with my passion for graphic design.

  • I designed the business’ branding, visual identity, and marketing materials;

  • Worked with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Canva, as well as with E-commerce platforms and social media;

  • Enhanced my customer service and interpersonal skills through daily client interactions online and in person;

  • Fostered independence and responsibility by managing tasks on my own;
