Profile
Hello!
My name is Sebastian Gallego Niebles and I am a Industrial Designer with 4 + Years of
experience working in Branding, illustration, advertising and Web Design.
I started my career by working at Forum yourbrandbuilder a Messebau in Krefeld, Germany,
where I had the task to create and develop all the Graphic Content for the Booths, such as
Videos, Graphic Elements for the walls and Podiums, Souvenirs, Welcome Cards, Invitations,
Name tags, Website Register Sites, Corporate Identity Elements, etc.
Later, working at trivago GmbH Dusseldorf, Germany, for the DEA (Display, Email, Affiliate )
Design Team, my job was to generate online marketing campaign Ads, for the different
platforms: GSP, GDN, Email Marketing, FB, Instagram; producing versatile and engaging
material for all the different regions and countries, without losing the trivago brand &
corporate identity.
I continue working on everything from branding (Brand Design and components, logos,
Identity, Brand Values, etc.), printed and Online advertising, illustration(icons, character
design, Drawing) to Web Design (UX design, Web Design, Mobile apps, E-mail Design), for
different companies, working as in-house Designer and Freelancer.
I have a keen eye for detail, and I do my best to pay close attention and analyse every single
aspect of the design, aiming for a well balanced composition that properly communicates
what it should. During my design thinking process, I often ask myself if things can be put in a
simple, effective way and always consider if the message is displayed clearly for the user. I
am responsible, dedicated and motivated, ready for new challenges and knowledge, and
willing to produce results that contribute to the growth of a company, brand or product.
