My name is Shira Pugatch.
I'm an Artist, Designer & Illustrator.
began my journey as a graphic designer in 2002 after graduating from the Avni Institute of Art School Tlv, and web design studies.
Working for a range of advertising agencies, TV studios and private clients from various business sectors. and integrated into the world of digital art and graphic designer.
At the same time I always kept learning, I have attended various courses in design and art and always keep on learning different softwares and working methods also as an autodidact.
Over the years, I acquired great experience working across digital and print media.
In 2015, I decided to fulfil my dream take advantage from my digital profession - Leave my home land, Israel and became a digital nomad. today I work and live in the magical island of Phangan, Thailand.
My studio provides encompassing visual communication support for clients and business. This includes holistic branding services, web design and the provision of unique design solutions for marketing, advertising and business visibility.
Work on each project begins from conceptualisation, where the client’s needs and vision are identified and the objectives to be achieved defined. This ensures the right design solutions are offered to achieve best results.
In delivering these original design solutions, I rely on my vast experience, instinctive creativity and my ability to turn client's vision into impactful visual results. A long list of happy, long-standing clients is evidence of the success of this strategy.
