A Little About Me

 

I solve problems through a design focused lens.

I’m Tony, a Senior Graphic Designer living and working in the greater L.A. area, and I problem solve and develop design solutions for my clients.

I was born and raised in the beautiful San Fernando Valley, a place
filled with Cold War Era air-raid sirens, Nike missile bases, mini-malls and “Valley Speak”.

 

Passions of mine include architecture, industrial design, science, and anything
pre-Columbian. Good food is my comfort food, and above all, tacos reign supreme.
 
My eclectic background adds to my creative arsenal and helps me
identify problems, concept solutions and execute them.

  • Tony and I worked together at UC San Diego and his passion and attitude was like none other I'd come across. He's a very talented designer, passionate, bold and insightful. He leveled up any project he worked on, and was a great soundboard for feedback on visual projects I was working on. He helped me resolve aspects that weren't working, taught me better methods and helped give the project that finished polish. His eye would also pick up the tiniest of details I didn't catch, and he was meticulous and efficient in everything that he did.

    He was always willing to peer over my shoulder, see what I was working on and help me make it better. With Tony not only do you get the hard work and dedication, but the great fun-loving attitude. To this day he has hands down been the colleague I've had the most fun working with and had the most laughs with. A truly vital combination. If I'm putting together a team, he would be the first person I'd want. I’m confident that he will exceed the expectations of any organization that has him.

  • Tony is an excellent colleague with a great ability to merge messaging and design into coherent, appealing communications pieces. I managed him directly at City of Hope during my time there and also worked with him at a previous institution and have always enjoyed the eye he brings to design. He is a hard worker, committed to the organizations for which he plies his trade, and would be a great asset for any team fortunate enough to have him.

  • Tony is a wildly creative and passionate artist with a strong work ethic and the ability to visualize solutions to complex problems. He is always willing to make the extra effort to ensure the best product and perfect his work. As well, he has a great sense of humor and is a pleasure to work with. Even on the most demanding and time-consuming projects, Tony was always quick to provide solutions and willing to produce multiple options to showcase the project in the best possible format. I appreciated his attention to detail and willingness to pitch in and get the job done while providing the most elegant and refined product. It was a pleasure managing and working with him.

  • Tony is, hands down, the most effective graphic designer I have met. He is able to understand the needs of the staff for our donors and translate that into proposals, cards, presentations, posters, etc. For every request, he has not only exceeded my expectations, but the expectations of my colleagues as well. Most of all, Tony is a deep-thinking and light-hearted colleague who adds to making the workplace an intellectually stimulating and increasingly positive environment.
