Jo Albericci

I’m Jo

Finding creative solutions to design problems has been both my job and my hobby for a decade. I have extensive experience in the Adobe Creative Suite, primarily in Photoshop, but I have a diverse breadth of hands-on experience across a variety of media types, such as UI design, print design, video editing, and logo design just to name a few.

My working history has taught me the importance of learning new skills on the fly. Adapting, researching new information, and applying it to solve a new problem as it was presented. This means I am able to function entirely autonomously in adhering to deadlines, but I understand the importance of team cohesion. Many of my hobbies require team communication and collaboration to solve problems within limited time constraints.

Outside of work, I always learning. I apply my graphic design skills to create quizzes, puzzles, and other forms of media to entertain others; whether that be for my D&D players, or the communities I organise and host game nights for.

I have a great interest and passion for game design, and I dedicate much of my spare time to further improving my ability to design and develop video games. Filling gaps in my knowledge and learning new skills that can be transferred to my work in the field of graphic design. I am on a continuous journey of self-improvement and find myself at my happiest when I am learning new skills, or expressing myself in a creative medium.
