About Arya Venkatesh

Hi there!My name is Arya Venkatesh. I am a 21-year-old graduate student at ICAT: DESIGN AND MEDIA COLLEGE, pursuing a bachelor\'s degree in visual media, which I have now completed. I am from Chennai, India, but was born in California, USA, where I developed my English and communication skills.I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Communication and Media Studies at M.O.P. Vaishnav College for Women.I have been creating art and ideas since I was 8 years old, when my first vision was to create creative writing by telling stories and poetry. I had a knack for language and imagery, as seen in the small poem books I’ve made to be more professional, and I developed scripts for my school projects. Throughout my life, I have touched upon various arts and media, including graphic design, illustration, motion graphics, digital marketing, creative writing, creative directing, 3D modelling, etc.I\'m all kinds of imaginative when creating new ideas and executing them.MY EXPERIENCES/SKILLSET:BARA EMPNEO (JOB-FEB 2025-JUNE 2025)- GRAPHIC DESIGN HEADJOSTLE MEDIA (INTERNSHIP MAY 2024-AUGUST 2024)- INTERN GRAPHIC DESIGNERLERNX (INTERNSHIP AUGUST 2023-OCTOBER 2023)- INTERN DIGITAL MARKETINGPAWZZ CO (INTERNSHIP JUNE 2023-AUGUST 2023)- INTERN FUNDRAISINGBACKGROUND:I went to a Cambridge school (with university-level boards at IGCSE, A, and AS levels, respectively) in which I did media studies, business studies, and English literature. These subjects have helped me develop a broad knowledge of producing and understanding art and media, as well as an in-depth comprehension of marketing, and have also enhanced my proficiency in the English language.I have completed my Google Certificate course for digital marketing, making me more than acceptable when it comes to acknowledging digital marketing concepts and how to apply them to a brand, strategising how the brand looks online, etc. Having studied at a Cambridge school and learned English as my first language, I have developed strong language skills to communicate effectively with others and ensure their needs are heard and addressed. I am experienced in various software programs, including Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Premiere Pro, Davinci Resolve, Figma, and Blender.I have been doing creative writing for more than 6 years, both as a hobby and professionally. I have written scripts, narratives, poems, and descriptive work.
