About
Brand & Marketing Designer
Introduction
Hello! My name is Gino. I’m a graphic designer specializing in brand and marketing design in San Diego, CA. I have over 8 years of experience designing visual identities and marketing collateral for brands in various industries. I’m passionate about clean design without any distraction and with a super clear message.

When I’m not designing, I’m exploring San Diego with my partner, trying out new bars or restaurants, or taking pictures of things.

I’m always looking to improve my skill set, collaborate with other creatives, or work on exciting and challenging projects. If you know of an opportunity that I would be a great fit for, I would love to speak with you.
