I am a bilingual graphic and web designer (English & Spanish).
An U.S. Citizen with a Hispanic Background.
Since I do remember, I always has been fascinated with drawings, paintings, art, and in general any creative process. When I was on high school, I started to study drawing and I just fell in love with pencils, paper, colors, compositions, and different ways to organize elements in a bi-dimensional surface.
Later, I entered college to study Art, and I finished a Bachelor degree in Fine Arts back in Colombia, my home country. I moved to the U.S. and I enrolled in the Graphic Design program at The University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS, and ever since that, I have been working as a graphic designer. Now, I have around12 years experience as a graphic designer, and 6 of them working almost exclusively as a web designer.
Presently, I am working as a Senior Web Designer at the Department of Defense, where I have top level responsibilities relating mostly to design web specials for the Department. Please take a look at some of the projects I have designed for DoD.
