Top 5 Design Scope

Most notable designs roles.

CAPS TITLE

I've spent my career developing design solutions in a vast array of proficiencies. Some topics I have found myself immersed in over the years include: Marketing, Experiences, Media, Retail, and Product. As a result, my competency in these fields has become expansive to say the least.

I have had the pleasure of working in all types of settings throughout my career. I have experienced office and agency settings, remote work, self employment and consulting.I've had the privilege of holding leadership and board roles in many startups. My past has prepared me to fit into any type of business structure as a leader with ease. Whether it be remote focused with a high priority on project management and task managing software, or in person direction for build outs, events, or shoots, I've gained a great deal of experience in many proficiencies. Here are some snapshots of my past experiences in executive and director roles in the field of design over the years.

Dailee HLDG Brand

Dailee Holdings was a CBD startup that I was involved with from inception. In my CDO role at Biz Incubate, I developed the pitch deck that was used in seed round fundraising and succeeded in bringing on three investors to build the company.

Dailee HLDG Marketing

Once the company raised funds, I was brought in as the Creative director to lead the brand, develop the marketing processes, and design the multiple product components of the business.

ROXAS FOUNDATION

While I was in my Chief Design Officer position with Biz Incubate, one of our partners was involved with several ventures in the Philippines. This partnership led to some very exiting projects.

LifeCert Plus

I led design for a product built in partnership with the Roxas Kalaw Foundation based in the Philippines. I delivered creative assets & laid out sitemap and Ux flows.

Hairy Heifer Cattle Co.

the reason HHCC makes my top five list, is because the owner is one of my favorite clients, and the business itself is something I find fascinating. I enjoy the creative solutions I get to develop in a traditionally paper based industry.

Hairy Heifer Cattle Co.

In 2021 I designed the branding for Hairy Heifer Cattle Company. We have gone through a few updates, but the final choice for HHCC has remained throughout the updates.

YouHook

YouHook was a really unique project in that it was one of the largest products I have designed. The entire build was custom and required extensive prototyping. It took a full year to reach the MVP. Now that the initial functions have been tested and it's ready to ship, I am working with the client to update the product with more features and improvements in the Ux.

YouHook

The sequences that control the site operations are all designed in a modular tile based system that operates on top of the site page so that users don't need to navigate through 10 pages to complete a task.

I of Tiger

Since 2017 I have managed TIGERCIDE. In this role, I have maintained all records & admin, marketed & directed art for the group.

I really enjoy working with TIGERCIDE as it allows for a lot of freedom in my designs. I get to come up with art that is a lot more vibrant and often more exiting than some of the more business oriented design that I do.

Remedy Remixes

Since 2017, I have overseen the bands brand across marketing, album releases, videos, and merchandise.

TIGERCIDE is in my top five because it's an outlet to use palettes, and creative assets that are considered outside of the box. For example, this cover for the Remedy Remixes. the electric purple effect was achieved by adding layer after layer of airbrush until it resembled a plasma ball.
