About me
Hey there, Welcome to my portfolio! I’m Jonathan Diaz, a graphic designer fueled by a passion for creativity and a knack for finding inspiration in the most unexpected places. My journey into graphic design started early, with little more than a pencil and a dream. Growing up with limited resources, I decided to take matters into my own hands and dove headfirst into self-learning, soaking up every online course I could find.
Design, for me, isn’t just about making things look good – it’s about creating experiences that truly connect with people. When I’m not busy bringing ideas to life, you might find me exploring new places, spending time with my family, or expanding my knowledge on 3D software and Python coding.
I began this portfolio and all the graphics on August 12th when my career took an unexpected turn. Regardless of this situation I’m committed to pushing myself, learning new things, and embracing every challenge that comes my way. Thanks for stopping by! I hope my work brings a smile to your face, just like creating it does for me!
