I'm Rizwan

I am a graphic designer based in London, ON, Canada, originally from India. I completed my graduation in graphic design in April 2022. While I may not consider myself an artist, I excel at creating designs that are functional and solve problems. My openness to learning every aspect of graphic design has been instrumental in developing my ability to create simple yet effective designs for both print and web.
‍
I have a particular passion for designing logos, and if you've seen my portfolio, it’s clear how much I enjoy it. Additionally, I enjoy working with motion graphics, which adds a dynamic dimension to my skill set. I constantly observe logos, branding, and typography everywhere I go—from store signs to billboards. This habit has significantly contributed to my growth as a graphic designer.

I am confident in my current skills and eager to continue learning and improving in the field of graphic design.
