Back to original languageAbout Romana
A book is being created, an event is being planned, or a product is being developed that needs attention – and a creative partner with experience from over 100 projects is sought? Then here is my brief introduction:
I am Romana Ruban, an illustrator and graphic designer. Since 2016, I have been helping entrepreneurs, publishers, and NGOs transform ideas into memorable visual concepts and products. With creative ideas and technical expertise, print and digital projects with clear aesthetics and well-thought-out solutions are created.
Whether it's a music festival, a bike race, a children's book, or an advertising campaign: I work to give new large and small projects a strong visual form and character.
