Who am I?
A communicator through Visuals. I believe in the maximalism of minimalism. Since childhood, my enthusiasm for creating creative sketching has pushed me towards the realm of Advertising Art Direction. I consider myself to be a person with a high creative capacity to imagine and picture. I can provide creative ideas in a short span of time.

I am extremely passionate about sketching, painting, and illustration, and I enjoy everything to do with branding, packaging, and advertisement design. As a graphic designer, I have a few years of expertise. I appreciate collaborating with others and would want to produce one-of-a-kind, relevant art layouts and concepts for the companies for which I work.

I earned a postgraduate certificate from Humber College within Advertising - Art Direction, where I learned how to create advertising campaigns that set one company apart from its competition. I am currently looking for an opportunity to work as an Art Director Role. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience to gain new skills and advance professionally and personally.

I’m Lindsay, and I’m a budding Art Director with a background in fashion design. Originally from a small town in Eastern Ontario, I moved to Toronto at the age of 17 where I expanded my passion for art and found a wonderful community around me for creative exploration. In my early career, I discovered an interest in visual storytelling, which is what brought me to Humber last fall to explore Advertising more in-depth. In my “free time” (who really has any these days?!), I moonlight as a portrait artist expressing myself through life drawing and painting, as well as spending as much time as possible with furry friends. I love to collaborate, so please reach out if you’re into any of the above!

I can sing non-stop and wake up fully charged with zero caffeine! My name is Hedy and I have been working as a Graphic Designer for almost 7+ years! I'm constantly creating art in my head and love to use madness and disarray as design tools! I strongly believe that one can create beauty out of literally anything.

Hi, I'm Phoebe! An Advertising - Art Direction student at Humber College. Previously, I went to Guelph-Humber for Media Studies specializing in Digital Communications. I got hands-on experience with various media courses like Videography, Photography, Web Design, Marketing, and more. During my Summer 2021 internship as a one-person-does-all Social Media Manager, I craved collaboration. I found that ideating and designing was my favourite part of the role. That led to where I am today. At Humber, I have learned how to conceptualize big ideas that solve problems. My goal is to make ads that you can't help but notice while helping clients reach their goals. I'm currently looking for a Summer 2022 Internship where I can continue grow and learn alongside amazing creatives.

I'll be honest, although I dropped out of dental school to pursue my love for creativity, you should know that ad school stuck like a stale Sour Patch Kid in my molar. Oral pathology didn't seem as cool as influencing culture with my MacBook, so I cut my teeth as a Design student at George Brown and now I'm honing the craft of Art Direction here at Humber! I live & breathe aesthetics, music and pottery, but you can probably just find me in Illustrator solving all your advertising problems.

I'm Shivani, a student of Advertising - Art Direction at Humber College, Toronto.  A by-product of India, Indonesia, Bangladesh and now Canada, I aim to build a career for myself by enabling brands to tell their stories. While I am not busy creating solutions for advertising briefs, or producing art pieces, I love taking pictures and sharing my perspective with the world. Filling white spaces with paintings, creating pieces of art with mud or sharing a beautiful image with the world of something that is otherwise mundane is the closest thing to magic for me. I have spent my life in awe of this magic, constantly learning & constantly creating. My goal is to help brands convey powerful stories & campaigns that drive change into the world. I’m currently looking for a Summer Internship 2022 where I continue to grow by learning & creating.

Hello! My name is Jennifer Galindo Manzanares and I am a creative and visual problem solver! My experience as a graphic designer and customer manager developed my skills in generating new ideas for communication and experiential campaigns as well as brand management and customer service strategies. I am a positive, creative professional who thrives on new challenges and adventures. I enjoy team work and focus my energy to always learn new things and seek inspiration from everything around me.

After thinking I wanted to be a plastic surgeon, then anesthesiologist, and finally dentist (mostly to please my parents), and studying Neuroscience at U of T, I graduated with a degree in a field that I found interesting but didn't want a career in (it was either testing lab rats for research or health care). While I figured out my path, I worked a stable-but-boring job with the City of Toronto for 2 years after graduating, and in 2021 I decided to apply to Humber's post-graduate "Advertising - Art Direction" program, in a cathartic alignment of passion and career. I've also spent the last 5 years as a freelance photographer and cinematographer, working on music videos and short film sets, and I've shot cover art and press photos for Toronto recording artists, two of which got Spotify billboards in Dundas Square. Now, with this newfound ad-industry way of idea-crafting, I'm looking for an internship where I can bring my freelance skills and experience to the world of advertising.

Hi! I’m Anushka Khandwala, a Toronto-based Art Director. I am a neurotic, slightly chaotic millennial who is obsessed with making the world pretty. I have an eye for design and a knack for organization with which I aim to create fresh aesthetics that convert the mundane into art. I have a bachelor’s degree in Mass Media with a major in advertising. I broke into the advertising industry gaining my work experience at a production house as an account coordinator. Working with set design and colour led me to understand my creative capabilities. After which I moved on to study Advertising Art Direction at Humber College. I’ve always appreciated how advertisements tell short compelling stories that inspire people to try new products and brands. Through the Art Direction course, I’ve learnt how to bring such stories to life with the help of human insights, colour, and design.
