My name is Sadaf Michaelsen,

Former (MIRZAEI)

... and I am a designer from Germany, looking for freelance jobs in Central London.

For the last three years I have been running my own boutique design agency, ben kollektiv GbR. Along with a partner, we have completed over 80 projects for a vast array of clients delivering fully customised, innovative and creative solutions. We have worked across a number of industries and on a range of project types, encompassing corporate identity, print design and web design. 

I have created this website for you to have a look at a portfolio of my work. I hope you like it as much as I loved working on the projects.

In terms of technical expertise I spend a lot of my time in the Adobe Creative Cloud and have a very good knowledge of all the common Adobe Programms like Photoshop, Indesign, Adobe Acrobat and Illustrator. I have also worked on design briefs covering ads, websites, packaging and brochures, as well as much more.

I am passionate about all aspects of design and coming up with special ideas, which help our clients to communicate seamlessly and consistently with their end users. 

Running my own company means I have good experience of all the administrative, project management and team-oriented challenges which come with it. I was typically the person in charge of project management, devising timelines and ensuring my team met these. 

I am passionate about working together in a team to overcome challenging assignments and the brain-storming part of the process is one of my favourites and where the creative process really begins. 

I would love to have the opportunity to meet and discuss all of the above and more further. 

Sincerely, Sadaf Mirzaei
