Special Projects

As part of my services as a graphic designer and artist, I'm especially proud of my work for author Dr. Rafael Batista. He entrusted me with the concept and design for several of his books, resulting in a variety of book covers that are available for purchase on Amazon as each title is published. All of these book covers were designed to the author's specific instructions, and I'm glad he was quite pleased with the results.

For many years, I have provided design services in one capacity or another to Solutions by Design (SBD). Most of this work involves web administration and design, working directly in WordPress and adding client-specific features that sometimes require a bit more creativity to accomplish. These features may include a complete site redesign, rebranding, and in some cases reprogramming. Some clients prefer simple solutions, while others want fancy, extravagant interactive elements integrated into what might otherwise be a static informational site. This is one of the sites that went from its old version (the first image on the left) to the new redesign, built according to the branding book the client provided. I integrated their new branding into our template and modified the menu structure to accommodate the site's many features and levels of separation. I also built their curvy footer with its off-center, semi-transparent logo. In addition, I used scripting to keep the branding wo...

During my time at ICC so far, I've been doing some serious work. ICC is an analytics company that specializes in detecting moisture intrusion and helping clients save money by pinpointing the problem areas on their building roofs, so they can repair rather than replace the roof insulation. The company shows clients where the problem areas are, if any, how large they are, and whether to repair or replace. It uses a forensic method to assure clients of the accuracy of the information provided, and clients can in turn use it as evidence to support claims to insurers and agencies like FEMA. I have learned a lot about a topic I never expected to find so interesting to work with.  I worked on their reports, assembling the imagery and the report itself. During this time, I optimized processes and enhanced the imagery so the product looked its best and was completed faster each time. I also implemented tracking sheets and processes so we knew which stage each project was in and how l...

CHEMOLEE LABS CORPORATION WEBSITE Added this one to my repertoire of works rather recently. Designed the logo and website to have their old website remade as it was pretty outdated. This was a quick work thanks to the team as they provided the needed assets quickly and sped up the process quite a bit.

This year because of hurricane Maria I had to forcibly make the decision to move out of PR. This made a severe dent on my ability to work in PR with my former employer or rely on my usual contacts, however, I was blessed enough to be able to work remotely with Solutions by Design . I used to work with them and have kept contact for many years. Usually we do consulting and design for government or private clients. I'm proud to have been working in many of our island's public service's pages, their design and the development behind some or all of the applications that make them work(mostly made with Wordpress and custom design and coding by our team). I was able to participate in the design and see the progress of a project for a back to school program sponsored by the Canovanas Municipality and several other agencies. Here are some pictures of that specific project as it developed from concept to reality. Initial concept. 3d test of location. Work at location....

I usually post here works I've done for others, however, I'm making a real nice app for kids. I'm taking my time making it right and cleaning up details one by one but the sum of it is it's an activity app with 3 basic but entertaining and repeatable activities. Here are some screenshots. It's a work in progress but I'll make this a finished product soon.  It's based on a "farm" and helping the farmers with some basic chores.  Chores include matching shapes and colors. The shapes and the colors are random so every  time it will be different. The app includes a memory a shapes/color match and a coloring book with images specially made for the app. The memory game has 3 skill levels increasing the ammount of cards. Placement is also random every time. The game is based on re-playability and short bursts of play. I'll add the finished product's link as soon as the product is finished.
