Rachel Sandrina Rissa
Illustrator & Graphic Designer

About

I have extensive experience and special interest in art and design, specializing in illustration. I am highly efficient and adaptable to tasks and challenges with an excellent aptitude in creativity. I have several years of experience in taking art and design-based projects with high consumer satisfaction, and achieved the highest possible level in Art and Design GCSE. I have an attentive eye to detail, and my interpersonal skills have produced artworks that evoke the mind to think. I look to further develop my skill in art and design in a commercial context.

It has been a pleasure being Rachel's class teacher at Odense International School this year. Rachel is a creative, polite and well-mannered young lady with an appetite for leaning. She is thoughtful and considered, alwas giving a measured response to any given task. Rachel works very well independently, always taking on board advice from teachers in oder to improve her grades. She has an excellent work ethic, always handing in high-quality homework and assignments on time. Rachel can also work in a team, often taking the lead in academic segments. She has been a real asset to her class this year. I shall miss her presence, her wit and her smile in the S10/11 classroom next year.
