I've spent the last 10+ years bouncing between scrappy creative briefs and global 360 campaigns, which means I lead the concept and do the hands-on work that actually ships. My roots are in motion design, so I care deeply about the tension between structure and feeling. I want the work to communicate cleanly, to move with intention, and to hold up when you zoom in.

Feel free to call me Spooky or Brandon. I’m a first-gen Latinx creative, based in West Hollywood. I grew up in North Las Vegas, which gets scorching hot summers, so I spent them mostly inside with the A/C on, a glowing monitor, and the World Wide Web to surf.
My first peek at digital culture was on MySpace at 13yo. I was fully obsessed with the idea that you could control your identity online and use pixels to tell the world who you were. No one called it “personal brand” back then, but that’s exactly what it was. You’d pick your song, photoshop your profile picture, wreck your layout with custom code, and live a part of your life online.
That obsession with pixels never left. I just got more intentional about it.
That’s what brought me to ArtCenter College of Design, where I earned a BFA in Graphic Design with an emphasis in motion graphics. I went all-in as Student Body President my graduating year, and rode that momentum into a decade of tech product launches, global marketing campaigns, and a whole lot of After Effects.
Somewhere along the way, I realized the best work lives in that weird little space between instinct and system. The vibe matters, obviously, but so does the grid. The reference matters, but so does the reason. I’m always chasing that balance: something emotionally immediate, but built with enough intention that it keeps revealing itself.
These days, my anchor is the pentagram tattooed on my palm. It’s my personal logo, but it’s also a reminder that the best design has structure underneath the magic. Geometry, proportion, rhythm, harmony. The stuff that makes something feel inevitable instead of random.
I’m inspired by psychology, archetypes, astrology, and symbolism. It’s all pattern recognition pointed at meaning instead of pixels: tracking how symbols evolve and why they land. That perspective keeps my work grounded and dimensional.
Every project is a chance to build a small world. I don’t just set keyframes. I build digital ecosystems with soul. 💫 If you want something that hits deep and rewards a closer look, I’m your person.
