PORTFOLIO

For the magazine feature “Are the Planets Inhabited?”, I turned to Adobe InDesign to bring the concept to life. InDesign’s powerful layout tools gave me the ability to combine precision with creativity, resulting in a design that feels both structured and captivating.

By using a flexible grid system and carefully chosen typography, I created a page that guides readers naturally through the content while keeping the design visually balanced. Stunning celestial imagery paired with thoughtful text placement helps transform the spread into more than just an article — it becomes an experience.

The end result is a layout that not only grabs attention at first glance, but also invites readers to linger, explore, and spark their curiosity about the mysteries of the universe.

For the Amethyst Bay Resort & Spa magazine advertisement, I designed a layout that radiates both vibrancy and sophistication — a reflection of the resort’s luxurious atmosphere. Using Adobe Illustrator, I refined the logo for seamless integration, ensuring it appeared polished and precise within the overall composition. Meanwhile, Adobe Photoshop helped me enhance the breathtaking imagery, highlighting the natural beauty of the resort with rich detail.

To capture the spirit of a dream getaway, I drew on a palette of ocean-inspired hues balanced with deep, luxurious tones. This combination created a visual harmony that evokes relaxation, elegance, and tranquility. The finished ad presents a cohesive and dynamic design that speaks directly to couples and first-time visitors alike, inviting them to immerse themselves in the unparalleled luxury of Amethyst Bay.

For the TOWN menu design, I brought together the strengths of Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop to create a layout that feels both modern and refined. With InDesign, I applied precise grid systems to ensure perfect alignment and a clear flow, making the menu easy for guests to navigate. In Photoshop, I enhanced the imagery to highlight the vibrant colors and textures of the dishes, bringing the culinary experience to life visually. Illustrator allowed me to refine the restaurant’s logo, integrating it seamlessly into the design for a touch of sophistication and brand consistency.

The final result is a menu that not only communicates the offerings with clarity but also captures the essence of TOWN’s dining experience — stylish, inviting, and unforgettable.

La Catrina De Laredo is a professional and creative tribute by Omi Galeano, celebrating the traditions of Día de los Muertos through the art of face and body painting. Recognized for her exceptional skill, Omi’s work embodies the elegance and cultural richness of this Mexican heritage.

For the photobook cover, I used Adobe Photoshop to carefully manage layers, refine details, and enhance the vibrancy of the design. Thoughtful color selection and the integration of intricate patterns were key to capturing both the artistry of Omi’s craft and the symbolic spirit of Día de los Muertos.

The final design is a visually striking piece that honors tradition while highlighting the creative vision behind La Catrina De Laredo, inviting viewers to connect with the beauty and meaning of this cultural celebration.

The Center Stage Photography project highlights my advanced expertise in Adobe Photoshop, where I employed techniques such as lighting effects, shadows, and bevels to build a vibrant, three-dimensional stage environment. Every detail was crafted with precision, from custom design elements to the careful balance of color and typography.

The result is a visually engaging composition that not only demonstrates technical mastery but also tells a compelling visual story — drawing viewers into the energy and atmosphere of the stage.

For this infographic, I used Adobe Illustrator to create a visually compelling exploration of the relationship between media consumers and producers. Leveraging vector tools, I designed custom shapes that ensured every element was sharp, scalable, and adaptable across formats.

Through techniques like layering and opacity adjustments, I demonstrated a refined command of digital design tools to build depth and clarity within the composition. By blending stock imagery with custom-made graphics, I achieved a cohesive and professional design that communicates complex ideas in a way that is both accessible and visually engaging.

For the Nelly’s Nails & Spa project, I reimagined the client’s business card, updating it from a dated style to a fresh, modern design. I created a custom logo in Adobe Photoshop and incorporated a thoughtfully designed QR code in Adobe Express, adding both style and functionality.

By carefully balancing color, typography, and layout, I developed a card that feels warm, welcoming, and aligned with the client’s brand identity. The result is a revitalized design that not only looks professional but also resonates with the spa’s audience, leaving a lasting impression.

The vertical business banner I created for Omi Beauty Artist reflects both my technical expertise and my long-standing collaboration with the client. Using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Adobe Express, I developed a sleek, cohesive design that highlights her unique brand identity.

Drawing on years of partnership with Omi, I was able to infuse the banner with a deep understanding of her personality and creative vision. By blending her signature color palette with a subtle touch of “magic,” the design not only captures the enchanting spirit of her brand but also effectively promotes the beauty services she offers.

The result is a visually striking piece that embodies professionalism while radiating Omi’s distinctive charm.

For the Mi Spa & Waxing flyer, I transformed the client’s rough sketch into a refined, professional design that elevated their brand presence. Using advanced vector techniques in Adobe Illustrator, I meticulously recreated the logo, showcasing both precision and technical expertise.

A carefully curated color palette and a thoughtfully structured layout allowed me to highlight key information while maintaining brand consistency and visual harmony. The finished flyer is not only eye-catching but also authentic to the spa’s identity, capturing its essence in a way that resonates with potential clients and builds a strong connection.

For Colonel Santos Benavides Elementary, I designed a vibrant and dynamic t-shirt graphic that embodies the school’s pride and energy. The bronco illustration was chosen for its powerful sense of movement, symbolizing vigor and determination — qualities that perfectly align with the school spirit.

Using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, I blended a purchased stock image with custom elements to create a polished, seamless design. The color palette was carefully selected to remain consistent with the school’s established branding, reinforcing identity and recognition. To further highlight unity, I integrated a circular composition around the design, representing community and connection.

Every detail — from imagery to layout — was intentional, ensuring the final design not only reflects the school’s pride but also fosters a shared sense of belonging among students and staff.

I had the pleasure of designing this charming baby shower invitation for a client who was co-hosting the event and initially unsure of her vision. To better understand her needs, I asked thoughtful questions during our early discussions, which helped me gain insight into both the guest of honor and my client’s preferences.

With her feedback as a guide, I ensured the design reflected the honoree’s personality and the tone of the celebration. After encouraging my client to share a sample that resonated with her, I crafted a one-of-a-kind invitation that brought her ideas to life.

The final design featured soft colors and warm, inviting details — perfectly capturing the spirit of the event. My client was delighted with the outcome, and it was incredibly rewarding to transform her vision into a personalized keepsake for such a meaningful occasion.

When creating this paintball birthday invitation, my goal was to see the world through the eyes of a 9-year-old boy — full of energy, excitement, and adventure. I asked myself: What would make him light up the moment he saw it? What would get his friends just as excited for the party as he was?

To capture that spirit, I infused the design with:

• Explosive colors and neon text to reflect the thrill of the game

• Graffiti-inspired splatters and textures for a messy, action-packed vibe

• Bold typography and glowing effects that make every detail stand out

• Layered, motion-driven graphics that bring the excitement to life

This project wasn’t just about designing an invitation — it was about creating an experience before the first paintball was even fired. It reflects my passion for crafting designs that aren’t just seen, but felt.
