Hi, I’m Claudio. A Graphic Designer, Photographer, Photo Editor, and musician located in Oakland, CA. With 5+ years of design experience and 2+ years of professional work in 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 relish the opportunity to immerse myself in each project, drawing from both analog and digital techniques.
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.
