Creativity sparked when I saw my brother draw Dragon Ball Z.
From them on I was drawn to visual and performance art, which I was exposed to on a mundane level in the performing arts middle school I attended. After enrolling in a graphic and arts program in high school I started gaining knowledge on the practices of photography, printing, drawing, painting, desktop publishing, and digital art. I started drawing inspiration from Disney Animation, and the up-and-coming digital art community in platforms like DeviantArt.
In college, I ventured into communication design, typography and layout, publication/magazine layout, branding, advertising, packaging, book cover, and illustration. All these intricate skills that have helped me execute art for myself, clients and corporations.
With over 9+ years of working experience, most recent being a Senior Graphic Designer for ION, I have developed skills in working with demanding timelines, leading design conversations, training junior designers, project management for high-stake projects, production coordination, InDesign template designs for multiple collaterals, with an overall focus on problem solving.
In a nutshell, that’s what I am as a designer, a problem solver. Here to take information and make it palatable. To listen to clients and unwind their thoughts to bring forth the most powerful of solutions.
