A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF

My name is Desy Yolanda, a Visual Designer, and I'm passionate about solving problems through design. I've always believed the most impactful and beautiful designs are created with a passion for understanding human needs that are fulfilled by creative output. It's a belief that has made me a designer.

I am a restaurant owner turned designer. My experience in the service industry and owning a business have taught me about human understanding, and how certain changes that I made based on feedback can affect my customers' behaviors. I believe that my experience is helping me to create great designs that not only meet clients' needs but also can give satisfaction to clients' customers.

Skills

InDesign
Photoshop

What sets me apart is my commitment to innovation and my dedication to creating solutions that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and user-centric. I firmly believe that design and functionality should go hand in hand to deliver the best results. I am very much a big-picture thinker and enjoy working on every step of projects, from ideation all the way to development.

I'm excited to share some of my work with you on this portfolio. Please feel free to explore my projects, and don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like to collaborate, have questions, or just want to chat. Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to connecting with you!
