Talya Willson

Hey I'm Talya I just graduated from UCOL's School of Photography and Design. I'm currently freelancing while I look for a full time job in the industry.
I love layout design and illustration, especially if it has anything to do with the music industry. Last year I had the oppertunity to design for Wellington band Bring Back the Nineties.
Check out my digital portfolio I've attached.

Key skills: 

I am confident using Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. My Strengths are layout design and illustration. I am also trained in photography as well as design, and I am confident in using photogrpahy equipment.

I use to work for the Hawkes' Bay Today newsapaper, this gave me a great opportunity to gain some experience within the graphic design industry, working quickly, individually and as part of a large team, communicate well with clients to ensure the best results, and meet important deadlines.
