About
Hello!
My name
is Gino.
I’m a multidisciplinary graphic designer specializing in brand and marketing design in San Diego, CA. I have over 9 years of experience in digital, print, and web, designing visual identities and marketing collateral for brands in various industries. I’m passionate about clean, distraction-free design with a super clear message.

When I’m not at
my computer,
I’m at the gym fighting the urge to sing along to my music, at a bar or restaurant with my partner satisfying our cravings and eventually overindulging, or on the couch desperately trying to find something to stream before I finish my meal.
Aside from design, I’m really into karaoke, online shopping, and ramen.
