about me
maria mahdessian
Take a look at my CV.
very short and less formal description:
I am a sucker for visual communication and tend to have an eagle eye for details.
longer and more formal description:
Performance-driven and detail-oriented, I strive to use my creativity, design and communications expertise to support and to give voice to individuals, who feel left out of society, and to raise awareness on topics of disparities in rights, basic needs, and vulnerabilities. My work would not be the same without paying particular attention to the cultural, political, economic, and environmental implications of communications in a community.
I get inspired by observing the unknown, new cultures and the people that come with them. With this in mind, I believe travelling can feed my personality, as well as, my practice in design. As a designer and a communications expert, my goal is to always express and communicate the intended idea and message behind any project I work on always staying true to the initial concept, identity, and value.
I hold a Master of Arts degree in Design with specialisation in Design Research from Bern University of the Arts and a Bachelor’s degree in Design with a specialisation in Graphic Design from Concordia University in Montréal.
