I’m a Graphic Designer residing in Oceanside, CA. Even though my first love is for Graphic Design, I also enjoy Web Design, Photography and Typography. I love being well rounded because it keeps me motivated and interested in different ways of approaching design. I can constantly pull different elements I have learned and use them to perfect a project.

I have the following abilities:

  • Think outside the box
  • Work independently with minimal creative direction
  • Well-organized
  • Self-motivated
  • Flexible
  • Detail-oriented
  • Multi-tasker
  • Meet tight deadlines

When I am not designing my other interests include surfing, snowboarding, my Miniature Schnauzer Mia Bella and my wife Sara. I like to go out during any free time I have and take photos of my dog, flowers, odd things in the street and bring them back home to test new photo manipulation techniques. Many of my photos have been featured in businesses, homes and contests. Not only do I think about Graphic Design when working but it is in my mind when driving down the streets, reading magazines, and everywhere in my daily life.

Who or What is Aether?

Aether (e-th-er) in Greek mythology is the personification of the “upper sky,” space, and heaven. He is the pure upper air that the gods breathe and in the Orphic hymns, he is mentioned as the soul of the world from which all life emanates. I feel that in the same way Graphic Design eminates in all that is around us and limitless in posibility. With the Graphic Design as the soul of the world it is in everything we do, see, buy and walk past on a daily basis. In this sense, everything in the world is surrounded by design. Every designer is their own Aether, limitless.
