ABOUT

Introducing me:
Hi there! I am Abigail Farrugia a Junior Graphic Designer based in Malta, currently studying for a degree.

As a person, I am highly inquisitive and consider myself a continuous work in progress. That is why I am currently in a continual process of pushing myself out of my own comfort zone since I believe that that is how I will grow stronger, bolder, and wiser. I like nature, architecture, coding, music, and pretty much anything that is artistic, so if you have any similar interests then I am sure we will get along.

Moreover, I am an ambitious nature activist and am involved with BirdLife Malta’s youth group as a Young Leader. I am also part of the BirdLife International Youth Leaders Council. I am constantly looking to expand my horizon on nature-related activism, so if you are a fellow activist send me a chat as I would love to get to know you.

My career choice:
What made me approach this career is my love for drawing, which was something I had since I was a little child. Ever since I started learning graphic design my love for colours and the relationship between each other flourished. This colour palette is among my favourites since it reminds me of my hometown Ħaż-Żebbuġ during night-time.

Besides my current studies, I had an Advance Diploma course in Graphic Design and Interactive Media and prior to that a course on media production. I am mostly experienced in poster design and motion graphics but also have some experience in illustration and media production. I am hard-working and open-minded and I'm actively searching for a summer job which can add to my current experience.

My most recent work experience was with MITA where I helped the PR team create necessary assets for their annual cyber security conference, CyberRoot NCC. Prior to that, I worked at RAVEN as a Multimedia Design Intern. I previously also worked as an independent sales agent and had an internship at Vivendo Group.

Aspirations for my future:
In the future I hope to create some innovative posters for good causes like saving our environment, taking care of our mental health and how to be more environmentally friendly. I would like to be working with clients and companies with similar values to mine, regarding the environment. I would also like to be more involved in nature-related activism as I am trying to build myself up to become a nature conservation advocate.
