I am a second-year student from <a href=\"https:\/\/johnabbott.qc.ca\/career-programs\/graphic-and-web-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Abbott College<\/a> studying to be a Graphic Designer in Montreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though my classes are in the West Island, I live and spend most of my time in downtown Montreal. Where inspiration is everywhere. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love turning concepts into immersive and impactful designs \u2013 especially for print. I have found a real passion for working on branding, illustrating, and experimenting in Photoshop. But my process is where the magic happens. <a href=\"https:\/\/tatiana-gerelus.graphicandwebdesign.ca\/?p=36\">Deep research<\/a>, mood boards that fuel creativity, and hand-drawn touches bring my work to life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I\u2019m not pouring into my designs or making the trek to class, there\u2019s only two real places you can find me. Either, I\u2019m in the kitchen.  And I&#8217;m cooking up elaborate meals while trying not to trip over my two cats; Soup &amp; Bones. Or I\u2019m getting my steps in by exploring Montreal\u2019s Cafes and Parks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-social-links has-icon-color is-style-logos-only is-layout-flex wp-block-social-links-is-layout-flex\"><li style=\"color:currentColor\" class=\"wp-social-link wp-social-link-instagram has-currentColor-color wp-block-social-link\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"wp-block-social-link-anchor\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M12,4.622c2.403,0,2.688,0.009,3.637,0.052c0.877,0.04,1.354,0.187,1.671,0.31c0.42,0.163,0.72,0.358,1.035,0.673 c0.315,0.315,0.51,0.615,0.673,1.035c0.123,0.317,0.27,0.794,0.31,1.671c0.043,0.949,0.052,1.234,0.052,3.637 s-0.009,2.688-0.052,3.637c-0.04,0.877-0.187,1.354-0.31,1.671c-0.163,0.42-0.358,0.72-0.673,1.035 c-0.315,0.315-0.615,0.51-1.035,0.673c-0.317,0.123-0.794,0.27-1.671,0.31c-0.949,0.043-1.233,0.052-3.637,0.052 s-2.688-0.009-3.637-0.052c-0.877-0.04-1.354-0.187-1.671-0.31c-0.42-0.163-0.72-0.358-1.035-0.673 c-0.315-0.315-0.51-0.615-0.673-1.035c-0.123-0.317-0.27-0.794-0.31-1.671C4.631,14.688,4.622,14.403,4.622,12 s0.009-2.688,0.052-3.637c0.04-0.877,0.187-1.354,0.31-1.671c0.163-0.42,0.358-0.72,0.673-1.035 c0.315-0.315,0.615-0.51,1.035-0.673c0.317-0.123,0.794-0.27,1.671-0.31C9.312,4.631,9.597,4.622,12,4.622 M12,3 C9.556,3,9.249,3.01,8.289,3.054C7.331,3.098,6.677,3.25,6.105,3.472C5.513,3.702,5.011,4.01,4.511,4.511 c-0.5,0.5-0.808,1.002-1.038,1.594C3.25,6.677,3.098,7.331,3.054,8.289C3.01,9.249,3,9.556,3,12c0,2.444,0.01,2.751,0.054,3.711 c0.044,0.958,0.196,1.612,0.418,2.185c0.23,0.592,0.538,1.094,1.038,1.594c0.5,0.5,1.002,0.808,1.594,1.038 c0.572,0.222,1.227,0.375,2.185,0.418C9.249,20.99,9.556,21,12,21s2.751-0.01,3.711-0.054c0.958-0.044,1.612-0.196,2.185-0.418 c0.592-0.23,1.094-0.538,1.594-1.038c0.5-0.5,0.808-1.002,1.038-1.594c0.222-0.572,0.375-1.227,0.418-2.185 C20.99,14.751,21,14.444,21,12s-0.01-2.751-0.054-3.711c-0.044-0.958-0.196-1.612-0.418-2.185c-0.23-0.592-0.538-1.094-1.038-1.594 c-0.5-0.5-1.002-0.808-1.594-1.038c-0.572-0.222-1.227-0.375-2.185-0.418C14.751,3.01,14.444,3,12,3L12,3z M12,7.378 c-2.552,0-4.622,2.069-4.622,4.622S9.448,16.622,12,16.622s4.622-2.069,4.622-4.622S14.552,7.378,12,7.378z M12,15 c-1.657,0-3-1.343-3-3s1.343-3,3-3s3,1.343,3,3S13.657,15,12,15z M16.804,6.116c-0.596,0-1.08,0.484-1.08,1.08 s0.484,1.08,1.08,1.08c0.596,0,1.08-0.484,1.08-1.08S17.401,6.116,16.804,6.116z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"wp-block-social-link-label screen-reader-text\">Instagram<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-788c14b8 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group wp-container-content-5fd69529 is-vertical is-content-justification-stretch is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8c84ec38 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b61a1d7d wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-text-annotation is-style-text-annotation--2\">Why I became a Graphic Designer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My journey to pursuing a career as a graphic designer in Montreal started years before I consciously chose it. I one day decided to sit in on a friend\u2019s design course and was immediately inspired. Listening to the way designers connect creative storytelling with problem solving captivated me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though sitting in on that lecture didn&#8217;t immediate change my life. I didn\u2019t immediately change paths after that moment. But I couldn\u2019t shake the pull of that initial inspiration. I found myself always drawn to designs. Analyzing everything through a designer\u2019s lens: billboards, ads, signs, company branding, logos. I didn\u2019t yet realize I was training my eye. But the passion was there, shaping my perspective. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I spent a lot of my free time doodling, collaging and creating. But it wasn\u2019t until my partner bought me an iPad with the intent that I take my hobby and creativity more seriously that I fully embraced the call to pursue graphic design. Within six months, what began as a creative outlet became a clear and unwavering direction. My courses deepened my passion for design. Especially print design, branding and marketing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-text-display is-style-text-display--3\"><strong>Why I Became a Graphic Designer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-788c14b8 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/tatiana-gerelus.graphicandwebdesign.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/karthik-sreenivas-SzJwj7MYTa0-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A wooden structure in the ocean\" class=\"wp-image-330\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/4;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tatiana-gerelus.graphicandwebdesign.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/karthik-sreenivas-SzJwj7MYTa0-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/tatiana-gerelus.graphicandwebdesign.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/karthik-sreenivas-SzJwj7MYTa0-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tatiana-gerelus.graphicandwebdesign.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/karthik-sreenivas-SzJwj7MYTa0-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tatiana-gerelus.graphicandwebdesign.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/karthik-sreenivas-SzJwj7MYTa0-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tatiana-gerelus.graphicandwebdesign.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/karthik-sreenivas-SzJwj7MYTa0-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tatiana-gerelus.graphicandwebdesign.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/karthik-sreenivas-SzJwj7MYTa0-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@karthik_sreenivas?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Karthik Sreenivas<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/a-wooden-bench-sitting-on-top-of-a-sandy-beach-SzJwj7MYTa0?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-stretch is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8c84ec38 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b61a1d7d wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-text-display is-style-text-display--4\">What Inspires me as a Graphic Designer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like to think of myself as a Graphic Designer who draws inspiration from most anything. A makeup line with a fun name but boring packaging has inspired brand concepts for cosmetics, restaurants and trinkets. A spilled cup of coffee has inspired shape and map designs, typography and the use of movement in an otherwise flat design. Even finding shapes in clouds has inspired countless story concepts, brand concepts and photography series.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top Three Inspirations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if I had to choose the top three things that most inspire me; I\u2019d have to say first is nature \u2013 specifically the sea. Secondly, food \u2013 in all stages and forms. From the humble potato picked right out of the soil to an elaborate six course tasting menu. And finally mythology. From fantastical creatures to elaborate and complex storytelling to my favorite literary device, symbolism. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a designer I try to bring in one of those three elements to most every project I can. Be it incorporating whimsy and surrealism of mythology to a stuffy design. Or incorporating texture and movement of the sea to an otherwise flat project. All the way to incorporating more senses than visuals, the same way I learned to cook. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter the project, I pride myself on my ability to pour a piece of myself into it and that often comes in the form of what inspires me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-788c14b8 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-stretch is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8c84ec38 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b61a1d7d wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Professional Goals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My dream is to build a career where design transcends aesthetics\u2014where every piece I create tells a story, solves a problem, and leaves a lasting impression. I\u2019m driven by the idea of making work that doesn\u2019t just look good, but <em>does<\/em> good: designs that resonate, empower, and connect with people on a deeper level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right now, my focus is on growth and self-discovery. I\u2019m exploring where my strengths and passions lie within the field, pushing myself to create work I\u2019m truly proud of, and embracing every opportunity to learn. Since starting this program, I\u2019ve already seen so much progress, and I\u2019m excited to see how much further I can go.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long term, I envision myself as part of a team that values creativity, collaboration, and innovation\u2014working on projects that inspire and make a difference. And who knows? Maybe one day, I\u2019ll lead a design collective of my own, where I can mentor others and give back to my community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the core of it all, I\u2019m committed to lifelong learning, curiosity, and pushing boundaries. Because great design isn\u2019t static\u2014it\u2019s always evolving, always challenging the status quo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/tatiana-gerelus.graphicandwebdesign.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/eleni-afiontzi-gLU8GZpHtRA-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"advertising billboard\" class=\"wp-image-331\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tatiana-gerelus.graphicandwebdesign.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/eleni-afiontzi-gLU8GZpHtRA-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/tatiana-gerelus.graphicandwebdesign.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/eleni-afiontzi-gLU8GZpHtRA-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tatiana-gerelus.graphicandwebdesign.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/eleni-afiontzi-gLU8GZpHtRA-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tatiana-gerelus.graphicandwebdesign.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/eleni-afiontzi-gLU8GZpHtRA-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tatiana-gerelus.graphicandwebdesign.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/eleni-afiontzi-gLU8GZpHtRA-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tatiana-gerelus.graphicandwebdesign.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/eleni-afiontzi-gLU8GZpHtRA-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@eleniafiontzi?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Eleni Afiontzi<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/digital-billboard-on-london-street-corner-gLU8GZpHtRA?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-788c14b8 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b61a1d7d wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-text-display is-style-text-display--5\"><strong>Educational Background<\/strong> &#8211; From Sociology to Graphic Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-stretch is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8c84ec38 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-text-annotation is-style-text-annotation--6\">Educational Background<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default wp-block-paragraph\">Before transitioning into Graphic &amp; Web Design, I studied social science and hospitality. Having this background allows me to bring a distinct human-centered lens to Graphic Design. My design choices aren&#8217;t just aesthetic\u2014they&#8217;re rooted in how people think, feel, and interact with the world. They\u2019re grounded in my background in psychology and sociology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My time in events &amp; hospitality further refined my eye for visual storytelling, detail curation, and total audience immersion.
