Monique Cowley
Graphic Designer & Illustrator
Professional info
I am a young and vibrant graphic designer and digital artist with plenty years of experience.
Throughout my career, I have always tried to ensure that my love for art and design has been made apparent in each and every piece I create. I have spent all this time as an independant, designer but feel that I could greatly benefit and grow as an artist in a team.
I have learnt that any critisism is positive, as it can only improve my abilities as a creator. I have also learnt how to manage my time well and have a strong sense of self-discipline.
My next goal is to get into an environment in which I can take on new challenges, fuel my ambition, increase my (already high) standards, and push my boundaries as a designer.
