Looking for my next
opportunity
to make a change.
The visual way.
This is me
I'm Ciara Pickering, a multi-faceted designer and artist. My skills and previous experience come from a wide variety of media and industries, but the greatest common factors are aesthetics and visual communication.
​
As a graphic designer and illustrator, I have applied my skills to logo creation, album artwork, internet banner advertising, print advertising in over eight national publications, and promotional posters for a variety of events including visiting artist lectures, performances, and gallery exhibitions.
​
As a motion graphic designer and video artist, I have worn a variety of hats! I have designed and developed motion graphics for commercials for a variety of small to large businesses nationwide. I've worked as a video editor both professionally and for personal enrichment, lending my skills to such endeavors as the 48-Hour Film Project as well as other film festivals from Knoxville to Seattle.
​
Between and in addition to these roles, I’ve worked steadily in corporate and freelance media design and resource management, most recently as a graphic designer, motion graphics designer, and multi-media PR specialist for the City of Seattle. I also enjoy using my creativity as a freelance makeup artist and hair stylist for film, stage, and photography.

The Handbook for Health Heroes
Published Spring 2022: With a rise in COVID-19 cases and the emergence of new variants, it’s more important than ever to protect ourselves and our communities by getting vaccinated. New information about COVID-19 and the vaccine continues to surface and many people find themselves with a lot of questions, especially about vaccines for kids ages 5 – 11. In collaboration with Public Health Seattle King County and Seattle Public Schools, DEEL has produced The Handbook for Health Heroes, a comic book guide to help answer families’ questions about the COVID-19 vaccine for kids.
