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!

With over a decade of experience in graphic design, the last seven years have been dedicated to creating impactful visual solutions for corporate. This unique background has equipped me with a distinctive approach to design, where creativity meets boldness, and strategic messaging drives engagement. Working in this fast-paced and highly competitive environment has honed my ability to capture attention and resonate with diverse audiences through compelling, innovative visuals.

Building on my experience in the corporate marketing design, I have developed a sharp eye for detail and a passion for designs that go beyond aesthetics to make a real impact. Despite my specialization, I am highly adaptable and skilled in creating designs that suit any style or industry, whether it requires subtlety and elegance or boldness and vibrancy. My work blends modern techniques with strategic thinking to help brands grow and connect deeply with their audiences. I am committed to delivering designs that not only meet expectations but consistently exceed them, always with the bigger business goals in mind.

This portfolio is a curated collection that showcases the range and versatility of my design capabilities, reflecting my ability to adapt to various styles and project needs. Each project was crafted within a time frame of 1 to 8 hours, demonstrating my ability to produce high-quality work efficiently and effectively. Thank you for taking the time to explore my portfolio. I hope it offers a glimpse into the quality, creativity, and dedication I bring to every project, regardless of the industry or design challenge.
