Jaclyn Allan

I am a football-playing, snowboarding, tea-drinking, lolly-and-chocolate-addicted, exploring, exercise junkie of a Kiwi; with a passion and flair for type, grids, colour, hierachy, alignment, layouts, leading, kerning, composition, balance...

I AM KIWI IN MADRID!!!

After two and a half years exploring the world, I returned home in 2013 to sunny, beach-side Gisborne in New Zealand; where I could soak up my glorious country again. I have since returned to Madrid, Spain to be with my Spanish partner, where I can now soak up all of the rich culture that this incredible country has on offer.

Most of my time overseas was spent in the UK, working in London as a freelance creative designer/artworker and using the location as a basis for European jaunts.

I am an extremely capable person who can adapt to various environments and challenges, proving my versatility. My adaptability was further intensified while living and working in London, having to adjust to new workplaces, colleagues, protocols and operating systems, almost on a weekly basis. I know how to manage my time efficiently and am extremely organised.

I have a passion for all things print. I love typography and the way in which elements can be composed and given life on the printed page. I have an infatuation with magazines and would absolutely love to gain more experience in the area of editorial design.
