Hi there! 👋 I'm a Multimedia Designer based in the Bay Area, specializing in Art Direction, Visual Design, and Brand Strategy. My online pseudonym, Octologic, is a fusion of my fascination with octopuses and the concept of Ontological design. Picture an octopus, intelligent and adaptable, exploring multiple paths simultaneously. That's how I approach design – versatile, curious, and always reaching in new directions. The 'logic' part? That's where Ontological design comes in: "Everything we design, in turn, designs us back." It's a reminder that our creations shape us as much as we shape them.
I've had the joy of contributing to exciting projects for companies like Meta, Wells Fargo, and Atlassian, crafting everything from AR glasses presentations to comprehensive brand strategies. But whether I'm designing for tech giants or local businesses, my goal remains the same: create innovative solutions that feel intuitive and meaningful.
While I'm immersed in digital realms and emerging technologies professionally, my personal life is deeply rooted in nature. You'll often find me tending to my garden or hiking through majestic Redwood forests as a way of staying grounded in an ever-evolving world. This connection to the natural world constantly inspires and refreshes my creative perspective. (Currently, I'm exploring TouchDesigner to blend environmental data with digital art, further bridging my two passions.)
Armed with my trusty Adobe Creative Suite and Figma, I'm on a mission to create designs that not only look great but also adapt and evolve with our rapidly changing world. My approach? Make designs instinctive and rapidly iterate to keep pace with society's demands.
Let's collaborate and bring your vision to life in a way that's both impactful and true to nature! Feel free to reach out and let's create something amazing together.
