Senior Communication Associate/Graphic Design
Communications

My role at ICIMOD is to design general and technical publications and my work involves crafting our outward-facing communications. I coordinate with authors to understand how they want to communicate their work and handle a host of documents ranging from flyers, brochures, and concept notes to banners, nametags, and social media graphics. I also work on layouts for large technical reports.
