Other Skills:

I'm bilingual (fluent in Spanish). I play several musical instruments including the sax. In fact, I nearly became a music education major in college. Despite changing my major, I attended two colleges simultaneously to be able to continue playing as a hobby. I didn't make a career out of it, but music opened up many opportunities for me. I've had the privilege of performing all over the world.

Multimedia

I'm a Multimedia guy. My first gig right out of college was as a video editor for a web series. I've done motion graphics for a documentary, shot and directed short films, music videos, and I also dabble in photography. I feature this work elsewhere to avoid labeling myself "jack-of-all trades, master of none". The focus of this website is to sell my services as a graphic and web designer. I've learned that a client looking for a logo doesn't want to see video editing on your resume. Certain skill sets translate well across the board and trying my hand at many things helps me become a better graphic artist.
