Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I am Merel, graphic designer and the face behind Koltrast Design. I work on diverse projects ranging from designing tender plans and logos to image editing and creative layouts for events. No assignment is the same, and it is precisely this variety that keeps my work fresh and challenging. I enjoy playing with color, composition, and contrast: sometimes outspoken and lively, sometimes calm and subtle. From my background, I always look beyond just the screen, so that every design is correct in form, atmosphere, and detail.
