Hi

I’m Gisele, a graphic designer based in Orange County/Los Angeles, California with a passion for striking design. I graduated from California State University, Long Beach in 2019. The desire to strengthen my visual literacy led me to taking UCLA Extension’s Design Communication Arts Certificate Program, which I completed in 2025.

I’m currently the Graphic Design intern for Muzeo Museum, where I handle marketing materials like website graphics and promotional flyers. I work alongside the social media intern, where I assist in making graphics and videos for Instagram and TikTok. In my earlier years, I was the graphic designer for CSULB’s campus newspaper, the Daily Forty-Niner (now known as Long Beach Current). During my time there, I led the production of the newspaper each week alongside deputy designers and was promoted from Design Editor to Creative Director after one semester. Aside from editorial design, I specialize in typography, branding, and package design.

With my knowledge in team building, collaboration, and time management and skills in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, I am prepared to handle anything that comes my way.
