Hi, I’m Giselle Martinez, a first-generation college graduate from two Mexican immigrant parents who raised me in San Diego. I’ve always loved listening to music, and that passion inspires me to create visuals for album art and posters that tell a story and connect with audiences. Growing up in San Diego, I pursued graphic design with an emphasis on expressive typography, branding, and UX/UI, aiming to become an in-house designer who collaborates across teams to craft meaningful brand experiences. I’m excited to bring curiosity, creativity, and a strong work ethic to a dynamic company here in Southern California.
