“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.”

Zadužena sam za koordinaciju organizacije Europskog skupa mladih (EYE). Europski skup mladih okuplja tisuće mladih u Europskom parlamentu u Strasbourgu kako bi oblikovali i podijelili svoje ideje o budućnosti Europe.

Uživam u onome što radim: svakodnevne su mi zadaće prilično raznolike i rad s mladima iz Europske unije i šire smatram povlasticom.

Koordiniram različite timove zadužene za program događanja, komunikaciju prema javnosti i logistiku. Ujedno sam i osoba za vezu s različitim vanjskim stranama uključenima u tako veliko događanje kako bih osigurala neometanu suradnju.

Imam iskustva u komunikaciji i jezicima. U svojem rodnom Lisabonu završila sam preddiplomski studij komunikacije, ali imam i magisterij iz područja kulturne i kreativne industrije s londonskog sveučilišta King’s College.

Nakon raznolikih radnih iskustava, uglavnom u svojstvu vanjske suradnice te u privatnom sektoru, 2013. zaposlila sam se u Europskom parlamentu. Počela sam raditi kao prevoditeljica u Luxembourgu, a zatim se preselila u Bruxelles kako bih radila na internoj komunikaciji u području IT-a, prije nego što sam došla na sadašnje radno mjesto u području komunikacije i događanja u Glavnoj upravi Europskog parlamenta za komunikaciju.

U 2019. dobila sam posao u Europskoj komisiji, u Odjelu za financijsku stabilnost, financijske usluge i uniju tržišta kapitala (GU FISMA). Isprva sam radila na digitalnim i održivim financijskim politikama, a zatim sam se pridružila medijskom timu. Medijima, dionicima i široj javnosti promičemo svoje politike, pri čemu usko surađujemo s odjelima za politike, službom glasnogovornika i kabinetom povjerenika.

Ja sam zadužena za osmišljavanje, planiranje i provedbu komunikacijskih aktivnosti u području maloprodaje i digitalnih financija, kao što su priopćenja za medije, događanja i kampanje, glavne točke u izlaganju, pregled medijskih sadržaja ili sadržaj za naš mjesečni bilten i društvene medije. U odjelu sam zadužena i za koordinaciju anketa Eurobarometra, tj. ispitivanja javnog mnijenja građana EU-a o financijskim uslugama. I, konačno, korespondentica sam za internu komunikaciju Glavne uprave FISMA – potičem angažman osoblja tako što prenosim važne vijesti, organiziram sastanke svog osoblja i upravljam našim vlastitim „FISMA TV-om”!

Imam iskustva u području javne politike, prava i ekonomije te imam magisterij iz područja europskih poslova. Prije toga sam stekla iskustvo o europskim političkim i gospodarskim pitanjima u francuskoj javnoj službi i Senatu, predstavništvu Komisije u Ujedinjenoj Kraljevini, Odjelu Komisije za tržišno natjecanje te u radu u konzultantskom sektoru za javne poslove.

U Europskoj komisiji sam od 2002. i trenutačno radim u Glavnoj upravi Europske komisije za obrazovanje, mlade, sport i kulturu (GU EAC). Voditelj sam programa Erasmus+ i član tima za Europsku godinu mladih 2022.

Ponosan sam na to što sam pokrenuo nevjerojatan projekt pod nazivom DiscoverEU koji mladima u dobi od 18 godina omogućuje dobivanje besplatne putne propusnice. Jako mi je važno to što moj posao utječe na mlade u Europi. Dan provodim u kontaktima na društvenim mrežama s organizacijama mladih i mladima iz cijele Europe i pritom širim informacije i gradim zajednicu putnika u okviru inicijative DiscoverEU.

Završio sam studij marketinga i ostvario karijeru u oglašavanju. Uvijek me privlačilo međunarodno i multikulturno okruženje i zato mi je Europska komisija bila prirodan izbor.

"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."
