I’m a multidisciplinary graphic designer, art director, and business owner based in Orange County, California. With over 20 years of experience, I’ve used my knowledge and diverse skill-set to help grow businesses of all sizes, from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies.
My clients and former employers include:
Corebridge, formerly AIG, one of the largest providers of retirement solutions and insurance products in the U.S.
Coinbase, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.
Benchling, the leading life sciences R&D cloud with a $400B+ valuation.
Wells Fargo Auto, formerly WFS Financial, one of the top 5 auto lenders in the U.S. at the time.
Tropitone Furniture, one of the world’s leading outdoor furniture manufacturers.
PIMCO, a global leader in investment management.
My most recent full-time position was with corporate Wells Fargo’s Auto Finance division, where I served as Art Director, overseeing all creative for that line of business. Now a full-time freelancer, my experience has been a large benefit in helping businesses in a wide variety of industries.
I have a passion for learning and still attend design conferences while honing old skills (illustration) and new (motion design) to keep on trend. I’ve even experienced the life of an influencer, building an Instagram following of over 100,000 followers.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing and Graphic Design from California State University, Fullerton and have completed the web design certification from their Extended Education program, in addition to typography classes from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.
I currently reside in Southern California with my wife and 2 cats. I like A24 movies, the Lakers, MMA, video games, comic books, and food.
