Things to do in Berlin - Week of July 01, 2024!
When searching for events to include in the newsletter, one of the factors that often influences my decision is the quality of the poster design and visuals. That's why, for our Summer Kickoff party, I asked for the help of my friend Alina for the poster design!
Alina is a Berlin-based graphic and web designer with a diverse portfolio, including clients such as the European Film Academy, the Goethe-Institute, and the International Network for Contemporary Performing Arts, among others. Whether you need to refresh your branding, create a new website for your business, or organize a large event, concert, or festival, she is your go-to person. You can follow her on Instagram or check out her website. And did I mention she is amazing to work with?
