Profile
My name is Katarina Birkmaier and I am a recent graduate from Farmingdale State College. I majored in the Visual Communications: Graphic Design and I am ready to apply my software skills in the field. Being creative has always been a part of my life and it was not until 2017 did I find Graphic Design the perfect discipline of balancing art and problem-solving skills. I continue to work on my craft everyday by dedicating time to personal projects that help me learn and grow as a designer. I cannot wait to see what the world has in store.
