Angelyn Aurelia

Angelyn Aurelia

Hello everyone, I’m Angelyn Aurelia, a graduate specializing in Graphic Design from the class of 2020. Currently, I work as a freelance graphic designer and am interning at a design agency.

During my studies in the Visual Communication Design department at UPH, I learned extensively about the fundamentals of design, particularly in composition and technical skills, which I have unknowingly continued to apply in my design work to this day. Additionally, I gained new insights into the creative industry and the challenges I would face after graduation.

The desire to continue learning and exploring deeper into the design process made courses like Basic Studio 2 and Graphic Design 3 incredibly memorable experiences for me. I found brainstorming sessions particularly fascinating because they allowed me to explore new ideas that often resulted in unexpected solutions. This process of ideation will continue to be applied in many design projects, including those in Graphic Design 3. Developing designs for new brands that stand out among competitors while meeting client briefs required ideational exploration. This course also necessitated interaction with students from other disciplines acting as clients, providing insights into effective client communication, delivering design concepts that align with briefs, and designing to highlight brand uniqueness. These learning experiences have been invaluable, especially as I began working and directly engaging with clients.

The creative experiences and guidance I received during my time at UPH inspired me to share them with others, as these experiences helped me become more courageous in realizing ideas and anticipating future creative journeys. The enjoyable journey of studies always came with challenges. Therefore, the quote from Ben Carson, “Do your best and let God do the rest,” has been a source of strength and a meaningful reminder for me to this day.
