A collection of works, showcasing my love for image and text.

2. My name is Lavina Rana and I’m a Graphic Designer.
I was born in Singapore but raised in Adelaide, South
Australia. I have an interest within the marriage of
typography and photography; I believe they go hand in
hand. Since my teenage years, I knew I wanted a career
in design. My career goal is to become an Art Director.
