I am
a creative, versatile & dependable polyglot.
When it comes to design work, my main goal is the client's total satisfaction. Satisfaction with the results, satisfaction with the timing, satisfaction with the budget. I believe a designer should be confident in his/her ability, but not to the point where it makes them inflexible or closed to opinions and different creative directions. While I intend to manifest my talents and experience to every project I work on, I always yield to the client's vision.
I also don't like to nickel and dime over every revision and change. I believe in building a relationship with the client based on trust and respect. I am fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese and have extensive experience and knowledge working with North American, Latin American and European markets. If you are looking for good design, on time and on budget, I'm your guy!
