Vered thrives on learning new things and helping people. She began her career in graphic design out of necessity; she started a non-profit organization that needed a website so she taught herself html and Photoshop. Her studies in Cultural Anthropology and her passion for art and drawing were the perfect foundation for her future in marketing and design.
Vered quickly expanded her skills since she’s stubborn and wants to learn how to do everything herself. As a result, after almost 20 years of creating, collaborating, and learning, she is an expert in photo editing, vector illustration, graphic design, website creation, print layouts, content editing, and more.
When she’s not on the computer, she’s probably walking her pups or playing in the dirt. She is slightly obsessed with growing food, natives, and other beneficial plants, so while she’ll never profess to being a professional gardener, she describes herself as someone who’s just played with plants her entire life.
