I'm Rolando Jaime - Casagran, a visual artist with a passion for illustration and a desire to grow in the field. To state the reason why I love to express myself through art is to go back in time, living in Asia and Europe for most of my childhood and being influenced by its cultures. It had a great impact in my already developing interest into the art of illustration. As a passionate digital designer, storyboard artist, and illustrator with a double major in Graphic Design and Painting, I bring over 14 years of experience to the table. My expertise spans across a wide range of creative fields, from graphic design to visual storytelling and illustration. I am passionate about supporting colleagues in their professional growth and helping them reach their full potential. I bring a proven track record of remote collaboration, strong communication, reliable deadline performance, and the ability to deliver high-quality creative work that aligns with each organization's standards.
