Hi, my name is Mario. I’m a senior graphic designer born and raised in Los Angeles. I specialize in logo design, branding, packaging design, print design and page layout. I have 13 years experience as a graphic artist in both freelance and full-time positions. I am currently a full-time in-house packaging designer at SL Home Fashions.
You can find my work below, but trust me I’m good.
Just ask my mom.
In my 13 years as a graphic designer I have learned to work quickly and efficiently, and manage my time in a deadline driven environment. I enjoy designing and put my all into whatever project comes to me. I take pride in my design work and always strive to deliver in an efficient and timely manner, both individually and in a team environment.
My interest in photography began around 2010. Since then, my Love for photography has only grown. I began doing product photography for catalogs and web, shooting apparel for Merge Left Inc. I then purchased a Canon Rebel T2i and spent years shooting in auto mode. In 2018 I decided to get out of auto mode and took a couple of workshops. The control manual mode gave me inspired me to learn as much as I can about camera settings and techniques. I welcome any project that comes my way to further develop my skill.
I have been drawing since I was 5 years old. Started by tracing my favorite cartoons. Eventually began drawing them free hand. In high school I brgan doing portraits and some still life always carrying a couple of sketchbooks with me. Nowadays I don't draw as much, but still take out my art bin from time to time. Most of my drawing these days are of my kids favorite cartoon characters.
The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they
can be great in whatever they want to do.
