HELLO!
My name is Ranya Russo and I am a Communication Design and Spanish double major at Elon University. At the heart of my design goals, is the belief that design goes beyond aesthetics and rather tells a story and evokes powerful emotions. I have a passion for representing my creativity through graphic design as well as photography, writing, painting, UX/UI, and more! I am proficient in all Adobe and social media applications, able to apply my skills of brand awareness to various campaigns and presentations.
“Ranya is a natural leader with a keen sense for swift and flawless execution.”
