She is very able with all the usual software; Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. She also knows her way around After Effects and Premiere Pro. Margarita is a very talented illustrator. Some of her illustrations are already used by a variety of companies. The design and realization of graphic publications is no problem for her.

From September 2010 to June 2012, Margarita has studied graphic design, animation, video editing, photography and illustration at vmbo 't Venster.
​
Margarita is a very creative student, she can depict her ideas very well. She draws well on paper as well as on the computer. She works independently, doesn’t get distracted by the noise around her and makes sure to finish everything according to plan. She can deal well with deadlines. She not only finishes the assignments on time, she also executes them good, often even with slightly more than requested through which she stands out in her work.

I wish her the best of luck with her further education!
