A Bit About Me
Hi, my name is Arisha Wadiwala and I'm a graphic designer in the Greater Toronto Area. I have a diploma in Computer Programming from Sheridan College. I am also currently pursuing a degree in Graphic Communications at Ryerson University with a concentration in publishing. I have always had an eye for design and wanted to make a career out of it! I hope to one day see my work displayed around the globe.
I am a driven, detail oriented graphic designer with 4+ years of experience designing content for OOH, digital and print mediums as well as managing social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. Highly skilled using Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop and After Effects as well as Canva. Excellent time management, communication, and collaboration skills.
