Anietha Charles

I am a passionate designer who helps clients bring their ideas and stories to life using images and illustrative designs. I love creating engaging and impactful visual content for various platforms and audiences. 

I graduated with honours from NAIT with a diploma in DMIT: Visual Communications, where I learned how to apply design principles, techniques, and tools to create effective and aesthetically pleasing graphic solutions. I also have a bachelor's degree in graphic design from COSTAATT, where I developed my artistic and creative skills. I am passionate, enthusiastic, dedicated, and motivated by animation, nature, and animals, and I strive to incorporate these elements into my work.
