The story Behind
I was born in 1992 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Later when I turned 3 years young, we moved to the North East of the Netherlands and I grew up there for te rest of my life until I turned 25 year.
My journey as a graphic started around 2020. I have had done some logo designing in the earlier years but I don’t really count that.
Always I have considered myself as a very creative person, and friends and family members can also confirm that.
"As a little gitl I was always drawing. Portraits and animals in black and white with pencils or carbon"
At school most of the times I got the highest ratings for drawings and paintings. I really enjoyd doing things with my hands. And when I was about 14, I started editing photos in Adobe Photoshop.
Later from 2012, I’ve been doing some modeling and I got interested in photography.
Gaining Adobe Skills
After the photographer took the photos, I wanted to learn how to edit them. Make the skin softer, edit lightening, remove a pimple, etc. I did so many tutorials and I was so fascinated by all the creative options of the Adobe suite.
Emigration to Spain
In 2017 I moved to the South of Spain, Málaga. Worked for 1 year in a restaurant to learn the Spanish language, and later I joined an online digital nomad comunity.
I learned to build my own website, did a Facebook Ads course, learned about marketing, and much more!
"I always have felt attracted to be able to work from all around the world"
Not much time after, I followed courses about branding, graphic design and photoshopping.
Fast forward to 2024
By the end of 2020 I bumped into an entrepreneur who needed a re-branding for her meditation & mindfulness business and I mentioned that I could help her out with that, and my career of being a graphic designer began there.
Fast forward to the summer of 2024, I started my own freelance name and website vividcreations.es & fiaaddicks.com where I help clients with their branding, webdesign, business strategy and marketing and on top of that I a working remotely for a Canadian marketing company as their Senior graphic designer.
