Donna Shahi

I have extensive experience with the Adobe Creative Suite as well as years of experience in branding and intuitive web/mobile design. I take pride in bringing enthusiasm and passion into every task. I thrive off being challenged creatively, and am able to stretch the boundaries of digital storytelling to help brands stand out.

After receiving my diploma in graphic design, I immediately took on job with a company called Branding by Brittany. I had one-on-one experience with a client and was able to provide the new company with a logo design, envelopes, letterheads, social media, and apparel. After this project, I got an opportunity to work as a UX/UI and occasional graphic designer for Healix, a healthcare company partnered with Humber River Hospital. I fell in love with working closely with a team of developers and product designers and learned extensively about how to make responsive and understandable web and mobile design. I worked at this company for a year and a half.

After graduating high school with a high academic standing, I moved from Ontario to Nova Scotia to gain more independency. While residing there, I attended Nova Scotia Community College, specializing in Graphic Design. What attracted me about this institution is that it has an 84% success rate of students finding employment after graduating, as well as hands-on learning and experienced professors. They weren't kidding! I learned so much about the principles of design, typography, print design, UX/UI design, drawing, and photography. I proudly graduated with a diploma for graphic design.
