FREQUENTLY THOUGHT QUESTIONS
by people who go through portfolios every day.
I have no time to go through all your work. What are your top three pieces of work?
Long COVID Mode – Long COVID Europe
Wall of Will – Sports Illustrated Germany
Blood Donation Hurts Less – Bavarian Red Cross
Work from home or work from office?
Work from whatever works best. I love my pyjamas just as much as I love dressing up.
Do you actually have a big role in all the work displayed here or were you just a spectator?
The only pieces that I’ve included here are the ones that I’ve slogged day in and out for. The spectator ones are hidden in a galaxy far, far away.
How well do you work in teams?
Not bad at all, thanks to my newly-developed skill
of suppressing my social awkwardness.

AFTER 10 YEARS IN ADVERTISING,
FAMILY STILL THINKS THAT
DAUGHTER HANDLES COPYRIGHTS.
Here’s a little more about that copywriter.
Swarna Thomas likes to write, think and occasionally, overthink.
She spends most of her free time trying to teach people how to pronounce her name right and planning unaffordable vacations.
She also likes to refer to herself in third-person sometimes.
