Hi there! I’m Joel.
I am a visual designer and photographer based in San Diego. I use my education, skills and experience to create and develop meaningful relationships between people, places and resources.
I studied animation in college, and became interested in graphic design and photography while employed by a real estate startup where I tested early digital camera technology. Later, while building a graphic design studio specializing in print and identity, I worked as a freelance photography apprentice on a variety of large scale commercial projects.
Over the past two decades, I have served as a photographer, graphic designer, identity consultant, website developer, and data hosting handyman for clients in many diverse industries and service sectors.

Years of Experience in
DESIGN • WEB • PHOTOGRAPHY
I have been a committed supporter of all kinds of organizations with creative print and web design solutions since the dawn of the internet.
Crafted Design
I use tools and bright ideas that emerge from fruitful conversations. You won’t be getting cookie-cutter, mass produced results. I thrive on depth and originality; I don’t copy other people’s work.
Build-to-Order
Not only will your project look great, but it should function well and meet your needs accurately. My goal is to keep an open conversation in the creative process so you receive a finished product that makes sense and works according to your expectations.
Affordable Updates
Many projects require periodic or ongoing maintenance to create fresh content and roll out updates to stay current and functional. I set and manage your expectations and offer sensible rates so there are no surprises later.
Comprehensive Support
When things go wrong on the technical front, you won’t have to find third-party support. I am committed to an end-to-end design and delivery process that includes all the nuts and bolts, repairs and revisions you need.
