About

My name is Cristal Boucinha Bernardi, and I am 32 years old. I currently live in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. For the past five years, I have been taking care of my mother, and I share my home with five cats. I work as a freelance Graphic Designer and Digital Artist, with over seven years of experience. I have a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design - Visual Programming from the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM).

My expertise includes custom album covers, book covers, image editing, photo manipulation, illustration, logo design, social media imagery, and any form of visual communication. I specialize in the editing, manipulation, and creation of creative, personalized images, such as album and book covers, posters, packaging, and visual communication for social media and beyond. My multidisciplinary approach enables me to tackle diverse projects, infusing each with a unique and creative perspective.

With a strong foundation in abstract art and proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), I craft impactful designs that effectively communicate my clients' messages. I’ve collaborated with a variety of clients globally through Upwork, continually enhancing my skills and staying abreast of industry trends. One of the primary tools in my design workflow is artificial intelligence from various platforms, which helps refine and enhance the results of my work.

As a creative designer, I possess strong skills in image editing, illustration, and typography, underpinned by a solid understanding of color theory. I have a list of successfully produced projects that have contributed to my growth along the way. I consider myself an intermediate designer because I believe there is always more to learn, but my dedication often makes me appear as an expert, as I commit 100% to every job and detail. I learn and adapt quickly, and I am always eager to work, create, and learn.
