MEHUL MISTRY
OVERVIEW
Graphic Designer / Illustrator / Photographer
I have great knowledge in various Adobe programs, such as Illustrator, Photoshop,
Indesign, Premiere Pro, Bridge, Lightroom etc. I enjoy doing publications and layout
formats, where there is lots of information, which then needs to be inputted into a digital
interface. In terms of illustrations, my work consists of both digital and organic hand made
elements. I also specialise in photography and know how to operate a professional DSLR.

I consider myself to be always paying attention to detail. Everything needs to be at a
professional level. I have had many experiences working freelance for various clients,
in which I have always finished every brief with the best of my ability, and to make sure
the client is always the happiest with the final outcome. I find it very refreshing learning
new things, as there is always more to learn and explore and to not get fixated in your
comfort zone. Thinking outside of the box is what drives me to always reach for higher
peaks.
