About
I’m Ruel Calderon, a graphic designer and graphic artist from Caloocan City, Philippines. I create apparel and digital designs, branding assets, social media ads, and print-ready artwork, with hands-on experience in portrait illustration, custom imagery, and image editing such as photo manipulation and enhancement.
I also support production workflows for print-on-demand and custom merchandise—preparing mockups, coordinating approvals, creating production files (including color separation and preflight), and ensuring accurate output across different printing methods like DTG, sublimation, screen printing, embroidery, and heat transfer vinyl. I’m comfortable working both as a freelance designer and as part of printing-focused teams in the U.S., supporting clients from concept through final production files.
