Maria Tsvetanova Krachunova

Welcome to my portfolio! Background: My name is Maria Krachunova. I come from Kozloduy, a small town in Bulgaria near the Danube river. I attended extracurriculum art classes for gifted children and it sparkled my passion to create art. Long story short, I had lots of entries for painting competitions, which made me the aspiring artist I am now. I was also interested in the more analytical approach in the technical drawing. Thus, I enrolled for Landscape architecture and decided to take it one step further with graphic design, so I could create a complete product with a stylish touch. Personal goals: I am an aspiring graphic designer, who wants to specialize in UX Design. I would like to become part of a community with common interests and visions. I constantly seek inspiration in people's reactions and constructive feedback. I have selected some of my best works in order to represent my level of progress and skills.
