Sofia Figueroa
Hi. I'm Sofia, a professional graphic designer of over 5 years, primarily focused on layout design and branding. Here are some of my designs.
Layout Design
Since 2018, I've designed layouts for fliers and posters professionally at the University of California, Merced. These layouts and templates were created from scratch using the Adobe Suite, or in collaboration with others using Canva.
