Laila Belkaziz

Multidisciplinary graphic designer.
I worked as a graphic designer for more than 10 years, I specialised in visual identity, video, animation, signage, web design and photography, among others. I have experience with clients and agencies from different countries.
My strengths include professionalism and enthusiasm and creativity in the area of design, I speak Arabic, French, Spanish and English, and I currently learn German.
As an artist, I have always questioned the struggle for women's rights and, for this reason, I have always tried to reveal, through my works, the taboos of a traditional, sexist and homophobic society.
I have participated in several exhibitions in Morocco, France and Spain.

I started as a graphic designer more than 10 years ago, after completing my degree at the School of Visual Arts and Multimedia (ESAV) in Marrakech, besides several internships in different companies in Morocco. During my studies, I specialised in vi- sual identity, video, animation, digital signage, web design and photography, among others.

After graduating at ESAV Marrakech, a school with renowned graphic designers in France, I had the opportunity to do my internship in Paris as a magazine editor, du- ring which I met important designers and artists belonging to a collective of independent designers.

After my stay in Paris, I returned to Marrakech and started my career as a freelancer. I had then started working for a French communication agency, where I worked as a graphic designer and post-production for 2 years. I remained with this company until I decided to come to Spain to start a Master’s degree in Visual Arts and Multimedia at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), during which I acquired and expanded my knowledge and skills in video, 3D, virtual reality, video mapping and sound, among others. In addition, during the master’s degree I developed my knowledge about programming, electronics, interactive installation and interface.

After finishing my master’s degree at the UPV, and in order to gain work experience in Spain, I realized an internship as a graphic designer in a German multinational company in Valencia (SanLucar Fruits, S.L.) and then continued to work as a freelance designer.

With a background in both corporate and freelance work and having developed in both fields, I am currently looking forward to joining a company to work as part of a team.
