Abigail Hunter
Graphic Designer & Social Media Lead
As a Graphic Designer for IAmConfident, I create visual communications that reflect the charity’s mission and values. Currently studying Graphic Design at UWE Bristol, I bring fresh perspectives and skills to my work.
​
Previously, as Communications and Graphics Lead at Gateway Church Poole, I redesigned their website and rebuilt their brand identity. At IAmConfident, I’ve developed a cohesive brand that embodies our values of compassion, authenticity, inclusivity, and validation, ensuring our visuals resonate with the women and students we support.​​​​
