Hello! I’m Jivka Raykova
And I’m a Graphic designer.
... and also an illustrator and university teaching assistant based in Burgas, Bulgaria. I hold a degree in Advertising Design from the National Academy of Art in Sofia and have experience across brand identity, print, packaging, digital design and illustration.
My work combines strong typography, expressive image-making and practical visual systems. Alongside client projects, I teach computer graphics, which has strengthened my ability to explain design decisions, structure creative processes and collaborate with people at different levels of experience.

Skills & Tools
My main strengths are visual identity, typography, illustration, packaging and print design. I enjoy developing ideas from the first sketch to a complete visual system, and I value clear communication, thoughtful details and a practical, collaborative approach to every project. My work has also been recognised in design competitions, presented in group exhibitions, and featured in academic seminars and lectures related to my professional practice.
I work confidently with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Figma and Procreate, using them across branding, illustration, print and digital projects. I also have experience with image editing, layout design and preparing artwork for different formats and applications.
