MY OVERVIEW: My passion for design began as a teenager in our family-owned printing press, where I gained hands-on experience in layout, printing, and production processes. This early exposure laid the foundation for my career in graphic design and production, leading to over 23 years of professional experience in the UAE. I recently relocated to San Pedro, California, and am seeking opportunities to leverage my expertise in creating high-quality, visually compelling designs and press-ready materials.
MY SKILLS & QUALITIES: I am proficient in major design software, including Adobe Creative Suite and other related applications. I have strong knowledge of digital and pre-press printing procedures, as well as experience in design production and DSLR scene photography. I am hardworking, results-oriented, detail-focused, and able to work independently or as part of a team. I produce static designs, videos, and animation graphics. I also hold valid driving licenses in both the UAE and the Philippines.

Print Graphic Designer / Print Technician
I designed a wide range of print materials, including brochures, flyers, posters, catalogs, business cards, packaging, banners, and advertisements, ensuring each piece was visually engaging and aligned with the brand’s identity. I developed layouts, graphics, and illustrations in accordance with established brand guidelines, maintaining consistency across all marketing collateral. My role involved preparing print-ready files with careful attention to color modes, bleeds, margins, and resolution to ensure high-quality production. I collaborated closely with marketing, sales, and content teams to understand project goals and translate concepts into effective visual solutions. Additionally, I coordinated with printers and external vendors to oversee production quality, troubleshoot issues, and ensure timely delivery. I reviewed proofs thoroughly, implemented necessary revisions prior to final printing, and managed multiple projects simultaneously while consistently meeting deadlines. Throughout the process, I maintained well-organized design files and comprehensive project documentation to support efficiency and future reference.
