Hello!

Hi, I'm Claudia Marie Guidry, a 22-year-old graphic designer from Mandeville, Louisiana. I'm set to graduate in May 2024, and I'm eager to land a job at an advertising agency where I can use my skills to create impactful campaigns that connect with audiences in new and creative ways.

​

When I'm not busy with school, I manage a popular Asian fusion restaurant called Chow Yum Phat. This job has taught me a lot about hospitality and working with others. I love meeting new guests and learning about their stories, especially those who are visiting from out of town. One of my proudest accomplishments has been creating the restaurant's bar and drink menus, showcasing my talent for design.

​

I've always had an eye for design. As a child, I enjoyed creating digital birthday cards for my family, and as soon as I was old enough to play around on Adobe, I recognized my talent. Growing up in a big family with five siblings taught me the importance of working well with others, a skill that has been invaluable both professionally and personally.

​

I'm a people person and thrive when working with others. While managing the restaurant, I've enjoyed helping and teaching my employees to succeed, and I'm comfortable working with a wide range of people from different ages and cultures. Working in the restaurant industry has also taught me the importance of hospitality. I believe that being hospitable shows that you care about your customers' well-being and appreciate that they trusted your business enough to invest in a meal.

 

I'm excited to continue pursuing my passion for graphic design and hope to create designs that make a real impact on the world. With my eye for design, love for people, and drive to succeed, I'm confident that I'll make a name for myself in the industry.
