Hello, I am Gemma Bisi and I have a General Illustration degree. During the course we covered all areas of design, including Graphics, creating our own branding/business cards/website, magazine, and children’s book design. My experience is quite broad and since finishing my course I have been exploring different areas in design and entering competitions. Not long ago I created a series of logos for Spiral Static Productions, who are creating a series of short films in which my logos are being used for promotional posters. Currently I’m working on promotional work for a charity. My experience within Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop are advanced and I am quite familiar with Quark express and Indesign. Please visit my website for samples. gemmabisi.com

I've never been the best at these, to be honest. Hello there! I'm an 18-year old looking to make a living freelancing and this looks like a great website to start with. Although I do sound like a novice I do have experience in writing well-written stories and news articles. The subject of video games and creative writing is my bread and butter though. I have all the time in the world to dedicate to any and all clients that decide to use me for their project. I look forward to working with you!

I am a freelance writer with a strong interest in fiction, particularly fantasy-based. I've been writing for over ten years, for both creative and research purposes, and I have creative flair and a talent for world-building. I am able to fluctuate my writing style depending on what I am working on (short story vs. a research paper). I also have some experience with graphic design and art; I can provide a sample of past work upon request.
