Hi, I’m Juan Alvarez, a graphic designer who blends traditional art methods (oil pastels, illustration) with digital design in Adobe Creative Suite to solve visual communication challenges. I enjoy creating publications, frame-by-frame motion graphics in Illustrator and After Effects, and developing branding mockups and logo systems that a brand can rely on. Outside of class, I tab and present work at events, collaborating with peers on publications and posters, and bringing a hands-on, collaborative approach to client conversations and exhibitions.
