My Work
Here are a few examples of my work. I sorted these into simple categories for good overview of what I do.
About Me
Experience
With a bachelors in design and many years of experience, I have worked with over 100+ brands.
Multi-Media Designer
I have experience working in a variety of mediums. I mainly work in print, digital, and motion graphics. I have worked on everything from brand development, websites, apps, environmental installations, to full campaigns.
Strength in Web
I am a designer with a deep understanding of front-end development. I am unique in that I can toggle between my visual and technical brains to help clients achieve not only the right look and feel but also communicate with developers to achieve the needed functionality for a particular project.
Approach
I strive to find the right solution while focused on goal, audience, and brand.
Focus on Goal with Brand In Mind
Every organization has a product to sell, an idea to disseminate, and/or an image to project to an audience. My goal as a designer is to help facilitate all of these items while staying true to the organization’s overall brand.
Solve the Problem
I design with the idea that I am ultimately a problem solver. For each project I try to find visual solutions that match the brand, the audience, the medium, and the budget. Finding the right solution is what keeps me motivated and passionate about what I do.
The Non-Work Stuff
The Home Life
When I am not working, I am usually spending time with my wife and 2 boys.
The Cultural Make Up
With a parent from the Philippines and a parent from Tennessee, I started off with quite a bit of cultural diversity. Mix that in with growing up in Japan as a Navy brat, living in San Diego, and marrying someone raised in Hawaii – I have a pretty long list of influences as well as list of favorite foods.
