ÇİĞDEM ÇİMEN
Artwork Production Specialist & Senior Graphic Designer
Noordwijkerhout
Summary
My work experience started quite early, at the age of 18. I have always been very interested in gaining experience and learning more about business life. Although my background is in Computer Programming, I wanted to do something else and therefore I found myself in Graphic Design. Packaging artwork design, 3D visualization of related artwork, creating video and visual content for the digital world is my main area of expertise. Since 2020, I have gained experience in Packaging artwork and print production management.
