“Designing for democracy — that’s what drives me every day at the European Parliament. Through visual storytelling, I help make Europe’s voice clearer, fairer, and closer to its people. As a strong believer in human rights and the EU’s mission, I’m proud to turn complex ideas into accessible, engaging content. Working in a vibrant, multicultural environment is deeply enriching — it fuels creativity, broadens perspectives, and reminds me daily of the power of unity in diversity. Here, creativity meets purpose — and every day is a chance to learn, grow, and make an impact.”

"As a graphic designer, I’m energised by the chance to create visuals for products that reach audiences across Europe. Last year, I had the privilege of designing the layout for the EU Strategic Agenda — a document that defines the EU’s priorities and strategic direction for the years ahead.

What drives me most is working in a studio environment with fellow graphic designers from diverse backgrounds; their insights push my creative thinking and spark fresh, original solutions.

The fast-paced and ever-evolving nature of our work means no two days are the same — whether we’re shaping branding for the Education Committee’s 50th anniversary or crafting striking visuals for research on brain–computer interfaces."

"Working as an Assistant Audiovisual Producer is an exciting opportunity to blend creativity, coordination, and strategic communication. I get to be creative every day, helping turn ideas into videos and visuals that really connect with people. It’s a busy role where you need to stay organized and work well with others, but that’s what makes it interesting. I love how the job mixes teamwork, storytelling, and creativity to produce visuals and videos that catch attention and help people understand important messages in a simple and engaging way."

"Since 2009, I’ve managed the Council of the EU’s website, working closely with content creators, designers, and developers to ensure clear communication of the Council’s work.

I publish content, plan new features, and support CMS users across teams. I enjoy the variety — from CMS migrations to developing new content types — and take pride in improving both the user experience and internal workflows.

With a background in international commerce and Chinese studies, I started in digital early, managing web projects in both public and private sectors before joining the Council."

"As a graphic designer in the DG COMM visual communication team, I have the opportunity to bring the European Commission's political priorities to life. Every day, I work on transforming complex messages into clear and compelling visuals across various media platforms, from print to digital, tailored for diverse audiences in close collaboration with my social media and audiovisual colleagues.  

I’ve a passion for design and branding, and I have the chance with my job to create visual identities that effectively communicate the Commission’s key actions. I also play a crucial role in maintaining the corporate Commission visual identity and, ensuring a harmonious and coherent image that resonates with citizens. This role allows me to give trainings to inform colleagues about the visual rules and to collaborate with the graphic designers across all the Commission's departments.

As part of a presidential service, I'm proud to support the communication efforts of the President of the Commission. It’s a dynamic environment where creativity meets strategy, and I’m thrilled to be at the heart of it all!"

“Europe is a beautiful idea - but it needs to become a shared feeling. Today, there is no more powerful way to reach people emotionally with our common values, projects, actions, and policies than through the creativity, interactivity, and flexibility that social media offers.
It has long been my dream to help EU institutions connect with citizens through social media - to bring Europe closer to their hearts and minds. Participating in an EPSO competition allowed me to make that dream a reality.

Today, I coordinate the social media work of the Commission’s Representations and provide editorial leadership across our network.”

Is mé atá freagrach as comhordú a dhéanamh ar eagrú an Chruinnithe Eorpaigh um an Óige (EYE). Tugann EYE na mílte daoine óga le chéile i bParlaimint na hEorpa in Strasbourg le gur féidir leo a gcuid smaointe faoi thodhchaí na hEorpa a fhorbairt agus a roinnt.

Bainim an-taitneamh as an ról atá agam: tá go leor éagsúlachta sna cúraimí laethúla a dhéanaim agus is mór an sásamh é a bheith ag obair le daoine óga ón Aontas Eorpach agus níos faide i gcéin, agus ar a son.

Déanaim comhordú ar na foirne éagsúla atá freagrach as an gclár, as an gcumarsáid sheachtrach agus as lóistíocht an imeachta. Déanaim teagmháil freisin leis na páirtithe seachtracha éagsúla a bhfuil baint acu le himeacht mórscála den chineál sin lena chinntiú go dtagann gach rud le chéile go réidh.

Tá cúlra agam sa chumarsáid agus sna teangacha. Tar éis dom céim Bhaitsiléara a bhaint amach sa Staidéar Cumarsáide i Liospóin, mo bhaile dúchais, rinne mé Máistreacht sna Tionscail Chultúrtha agus Chruthaitheacha i gColáiste an Rí, Londain.

Tar éis réimse leathan taithí oibre a fháil – mar shaoroibrí agus san earnáil phríobháideach den chuid is mó – fuair mé post le Parlaimint na hEorpa in 2013. Thosaigh mé ag obair mar aistritheoir i Lucsamburg, agus ansin bhog mé go dtí an Bhruiséil chun dul i mbun na cumarsáide inmheánaí i réimse na teicneolaíochta faisnéise sular chuir mé tús leis an bpost atá agam faoi láthair i réimse na cumarsáide agus imeachtaí in Ard-Stiúrthóireacht na Cumarsáide i bParlaimint na hEorpa.

Thosaigh mé le rannóg na cobhsaíochta airgeadais agus na seirbhísí airgeadais de chuid na hArd-Stiúrthóireachta um Chobhsaíocht Airgeadais, Seirbhísí Airgeadais agus Aontas na Margaí Caipitil (AS FISMA) sa Choimisiún Eorpach in 2019. D’oibrigh mé ar dtús ar bheartais airgeadais dhigitigh agus inbhuanaithe sular thosaigh mé ag obair leis an bhfoireann preasa. Cuirimid ár mbeartais chun cinn sna meáin, le páirtithe leasmhara agus sa phobal i gcoitinne i ndlúthchomhar leis na haonaid bheartais, leis an tseirbhís urlabhraí agus le hOifig an Choimisinéara.

Is iad na cúraimí atá orm gníomhaíochtaí cumarsáide a cheapadh, a phleanáil agus a sheachadadh maidir leis an airgeadas miondíola agus digiteach, amhail preaseisiúintí, imeachtaí agus feachtais, pointí labhartha, athbhreithnithe preasa, nó ábhar dár nuachtlitir mhíosúil agus do na meáin shóisialta. Táim i gceannas freisin ar shuirbhéanna Eorabharaiméadair a chomhordú, is iad sin na pobalbhreitheanna atá dírithe ar shaoránaigh an Aontais, maidir le seirbhísí airgeadais don roinn. Ar deireadh, tá mé i mo chomhfhreagraí cumarsáide inmheánaí ag AS FISMA: Cuirim rannpháirtíocht na foirne chun cinn trí nuacht thábhachtach a scaipeadh, cruinnithe a eagrú don fhoireann iomlán agus bainistiú a dhéanamh ar ’FISMA TV’ s’againn féin!

Tá cúlra agam sa bheartas poiblí, sa dlí agus san eacnamaíocht, agus tá máistreacht agam i ngnóthaí Eorpacha. Roimhe seo, fuair mé taithí ar shaincheisteanna polaitiúla agus eacnamaíocha Eorpacha i státseirbhís agus i Seanad na Fraince, in ionadaíocht an Choimisiúin sa Ríocht Aontaithe, i roinn comórtais an Choimisiúin, agus i gcomhairleacht gnóthaí poiblí.

Chuaigh mé leis an gCoimisiún Eorpach in 2002 agus oibrím in Ard-Stiúrthóireacht an Choimisiúin Eorpaigh um Oideachas, an Óige, Spórt agus Cultúr (AS EAC). Is Bainisteoir Cláir mé le haghaidh Erasmus+ agus táim ar fhoireann ‘Bhliain Eorpach na hÓige 2022’.

Tá bród orm as tionscadal dochreidte a sheoladh dar teideal DiscoverEU, rud a thugann deis do dhaoine 18 mbliana d’aois pas saorthaistil a bhaint. Is díol sásaimh dom é go bhfuil tionchar ag an ról atá agam ar óige na hEorpa. Caithim an lá i mbun plé le heagraíochtaí óige agus le daoine óga ar fud na hEorpa trí na meáin shóisialta, ag scaipeadh eolais agus ag tógáil pobal de thaistealaithe DiscoverEU.

Rinne mé mo chuid staidéir sa Mhargaíocht agus is san fhógraíocht a bhí mo chonair ghairme. Bhí suim i gcónaí agam i dtimpeallacht idirnáisiúnta ilchultúrtha; sin an fáth gur rogha shoiléir dom an Coimisiún Eorpach.

"I am Krystle and I work as a communications assistant at the European Commission in Brussels, I have reduced mobility and I have been working for the European institution since 2002.

I highly recommend applying! No physical handicap is an obstacle, competitions are based on knowledge, not a marathon. Everyone is accepted, nationality, color, gender, physical disability, ... nothing is an obstacle. All EU nationalities from all horizons are represented, the difference is positive. Maltese PRM or Estonian visually impaired, it has no importance. Multicultural means working with others, without making any distinctions. The Institutions have set up services that welcome all types of people, equal opportunities are a real right."
