About me
My name is Celeste de Plano, I’m a recent graduate from Norwich University of the Art studying Design for Publishing. I am a designer driven by my interest in detailed type, strong narratives and a playful process that mixes both analogue and digital techniques. I enjoy creating engaging designs with cultural, social and environmental themes. I aim to incorporate joy into all of my work in both my process as well as with the audience’s consumption of my work.

Spring 2025 - Design work for Norwich University of the Arts, where I was asked to design a promotional broadsheet for the Design for Publishing course that would be givent to industry profesionals as well as future students.
Summer 2025 - Freelance for dpgw, a Los Angles advertising company where I worked on their ongoing branding for luxury bespoke tailoring company Nicholls & Co. Following the design direction already established, I reworked their logo, designed business cards and created Instagram posts and reels for social media. This also taught me how to quickly respond to specific tasks as well as efficiently communicate my ideas by email.
Summer 2025 - Adobe Apprenticeship, as a part of the Adobe Creative Apprentice initiative, I was commissioned by Adobe to create a recap reel of their Launch your Creative Career event in London that I took part in. Through this project, I explored effective ways of story-telling in fast paced content, reflecting my creative voice as to stand out online as well as experiment with some motion graphics.
