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 did open up many opportunities for me. I've had the privilege of performing all over the world.

Multimedia:

I'm a Multimedia guy. Other than the services offered here on this website I also do motion graphics, video editing, directing, and photography. My goal is to have separate websites showcasing these skills. For example, create a site dedicated to my photography (which I'm currently developing). I don't want to add all that work to this website to avoid pigeonholing myself as a jack-of-all trades, master of none. I've learned that a client looking for a logo designer doesn't want to see video editing on your resume. Making that statement here may seem counter productive, but I hope that if you took the time to read this you won't hold that revelation against me.

Design Tools:

  • Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver
  • W3C HTML5 and CSS Validator
  • PHP
  • MySQL
  • jQuery
