Hi, I’m Claudio. A graphic designer, photographer, and musician located in Oakland, CA. With 3+ years of professional experience in both design and photography studios.
BIOGRAPHY —
Growing up in different countries across South America has profoundly shaped my perspective and approach to design. The rich tapestry of cultures I was exposed to has instilled in me a deep appreciation for diversity and a keen eye for the nuances of visual communication.
As an international designer and visual artist, my passion lies in the exploration of design in all its forms. Whether it's crafting a brand identity, experimenting with typography, I eagerly immerse myself in each facet of design. I enjoy immersing myself fully in the creative process, creating from both analog and digital techniques to bring each idea to life.
Driven by an insatiable hunger for knowledge, I am constantly seeking out new methodologies and pushing the boundaries of my craft. For me, design is not just a profession but a lifelong journey of discovery and creation.
My journey into design was ignited by my passion for image-making and storytelling. Following my completion of an Associates of Arts in Graphic Design at Sessions College, I was driven to further explore this passion, leading me to pursue a Bachelors of Arts in Graphic Design at California College of the Arts.
