Hello,
My name is Kadiatu Seidy Barrie, I am a self-taught digital artist and graphic designer. Recently, I have gained interest in logo design, social media branding, and communications design. Despite my academic foundation in Neuroscience as a fourth-year undergraduate at Carleton University, my passion for digital art and design has long been an avenue of interest. Presently, I am immersed in the communications field, working as a social media coordinator and communications director. In my work, I aim to blend my scientific background with the psychology of marketing to create audience-tailored content and designs, adding a unique perspective to my creative approach. I am hoping that through Riipen I can build on these skillsets to gain more experience in different creative fields and explore different career options.
Thank You,
