Liat Halmos
Graphics and Layout Design
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I found my love for art as a young girl so naturally I pursued a degree in the arts in college. I graduated in 2018 from CSUN with a Bachelor Degree in Graphic Design. I got my first job as the lead Graphic Designer at Sound Nightclub. I currently work as a Graphic Designer for a video editing software company called KineMaster. In my spare time I like to work as a freelancer for different kinds of clients from music artists to magazine layouts. I love what I do and I love learning new things about the arts!
