RESUME
From a young age, I knew that art was more than just a hobby, it was a passion. As I grew older I discovered graphic design to be the perfect modern career that would allow me to blend creativity with practicality.
I thrive on the challenges that come with understanding clients and briefs, identifying target audiences, and helping clients articulate their visions. Whether working as a freelancer or within large corporations, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with a diverse range of clients across United States, Central America and South America. Each experience has been a valuable opportunity to grow, learn and expand my perspective. Now, as a seasoned creative thinker, problem solver and team player I approach every project with a positive mindset and a strong sense of motivation.

Testimonials
It is with pleasure that I recommend Victoria Barriola for her work as a graphic designer. Vicky worked for our company during 2013 in the redesign for of the packaging for our flagship products. I was immensely pleased with her level of talent, her diligent efforts and her willingness to work on our tight deadlines.
Along with her creative abilities and technical skills, she took her time to research the retail environment where out products would be displayed and incorporated that knowledge into the package design. The new packaging design by her has been performing significantly better than our previous version. I strongly recommend Victoria for any design project or position she is being considered for.
Sincerely,
Gustavo Bottome
As CMO of different companies I have relied on Victoria's design and insight to spear head new products and services. As marketing leader, for 10 years now, I have hired and consulted with Victoria in consumer package goods projects, e-commerce projects and non-profit projects. Her designs have made it to products with international footprint (Latin America, Europe and the US). She is a loud listener, has a great attitude and fresh look into the projects. Highly recommended.

It is both an honor and privilege to recommend Mrs. Barriola. I have known Victoria since 2011 when we contacted her through a bidding process to improve BlackStrata’s brand image.
We decided to work with Victoria, among other graphic designers, based on the list of previous customers and deliverables. It was pleasant to work with her from the very beginning. Victoria is very professional and always eager to understand customer needs. Our marketing experts were confident of her suggestions and the direction BlackStrata took to improve its image. Victoria’s deliverables are top notch and always delivered on time.
BlackStrata’s image improved as a result of Victoria’s work. We strongly recommend Victoria for any endeavor she wishes to pursue.
