PROFILE

I am a Designer with a year and a half of experience working for VADI (Victor Arzate Design International, Ltd.) Prior to working for VADI, I was working as a freelance filmmaker, editorial designer and photographic-editor. Through working with VADI I have remarkable experience working with International Five Stars Hotels such as The Peninsula, Four Seasons and The Ritz-Carlton etc. My responsibilities of Hotel Branding, Signage and Wayfinding Design have allowed myself to explore Graphic and technical side of the Design Aspect. As a working designer I have gained and improved skills in collaboration, working under pressure and design consistency. All skills together has transformed myself into the confident designer I am today.
