Hire the Best Digital Artists in New York
Ridgewood, New York
Hi there! I'm a Colombian digital artist and graphic designer based in NYC. I am BILINGUAL and can successfully deliver projects in spanish and english. I specialize in data extraction, reporting, and organization, adapting deliverables to each client's specific needs. When provided with available data and a defined objective, I translate raw information into clear, actionable reports. As a digital artist I specialize in layout designs as well as character and sticker design, custom vector drawings and hand-drawn rotoscope animations (on Procreate). I am proficient in Excel and Google Sheets, Canva, Illustrator, Final Cut and more. As the Founder and Director of Encuentro Dance Camp, the largest dance camp in Colombia, drawing over 200 attendees annually, I have cultivated a unique and results-driven background that spans communications strategy, organizational leadership, and administrative management. Beyond communications, founding and directing Encuentro gave me extensive hands-on experience in administration and organizational management. I have been responsible for end-to-end event planning, budget development and oversight, vendor and venue negotiations, volunteer coordination, logistics management, and regulatory compliance. Overseeing an event of this magnitude — with over 200 attendees, a roster of instructors, and a multifaceted production team — required me to develop efficient operational systems, manage competing priorities under pressure, and lead cross-functional teams toward a unified goal. WHAT WILL YOU GET FROM ME? - I am great at time management and have good communication skills. - I can complete tasks with minimum supervision. - These experiences have sharpened my ability to manage complex projects with rigor, precision, and a collaborative spirit. - I am deeply passionate about the intersection of culture, communication, and community-building, and making sure your business benefits from my work. I am looking forward to working together! message me to get started.
