I’m Chiquita (yes, it’s Spanish and no I am not) but, I’m self-driven, friendly, a quick learner, polite, proactive and a team player. I’m young lady passionate about, print, packaging, typography, photography and all things creative.
After graduating in November 2017 with a BA in Visual Communication, I was offered an internship, for a year, at Publicis Machine — creating work for clients such as Red Bull, POND’S South Africa, Martell, The Glenlivet and Emirates.
More recently, in retail: I’ve grown my print knowledge working with multiple suppliers to deliver window displays and POS collateral whilst contributing to the VM (visual merchandising) and overall business strategy.
I’m currently working as a integrated designer focused on ensuring campaign creative is consistent, cohesive and strategically-aligned across the various touch-points. These include all digital media and in-store.
My work
I've conceptualised and styled shoots, animated videos, designed packaging, executed web and social media assets and worked on many influencer campaigns in advertising and retail.
[Chiquita] has taken to her role like an absolute duck to water. She is reliable, trustworthy, innovative & works independently. It is fantastic to have someone like her on the team who I can turn to!
