Senior Graphic Designer at Crate & Barrel
Greater Chicago Area
I am a graphic designer in Chicago with 12 years of experience. I was part of the opening team of CNN en Español working as a broadcast designer in animation graphics while at the same time attending Portfolio Center in Atlanta. After completing my studies, I moved to Chicago to pursue a career in print design. In Chicago, I worked for VSA Partners, Norman Inc. and SGDP. Currently I am a full time freelance designer. Thru-out the years, I had the opportunity to gain experience working with both the private and the non-profit sectors, both as a freelancer and as a full time employee.
I developed design solutions for IBM, Cingular, DePaul University, LaSalle Bank, Morris Animal Foundation, Allstate Insurance, the National Immigrant Justice Center, The Iraq Progam Assisting Victims of Gender-Based Violence (both programs of Heartland Alliance), and The Chicago Bar Foundation.
