Hi! I’m Shay, your go-to Creative Designer & Web Developer, known for my versatile skill set that transcends digital and print realms. You’ll often hear me use “creative designer” – a term that encapsulates my ability to shape compelling visual narratives across various media forms.
My journey took flight at San Diego State University, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Multimedia back in August 2009. My distinctive visual style finds its roots in my childhood days of doodling and honing calligraphy skills, sparking a lifelong love affair with typography.
With a comprehensive portfolio under my belt, my expertise spans a wide spectrum. From graphic and web design to user experience (UX) crafting, usability testing, and print design, I’ve explored every avenue. The realms of advertising, campaign branding, art direction, marketing, and even photography have also felt the touch of my creative finesse.
