Hello, my name is Brian!
I’m a passionate graphic designer, video animator, and content creator. Currently, I serve as a Video Production Specialist at USAA, combining my skills in various visual arts disciplines with practical experience gained from working in diverse industries.
Although I am largely self-taught, I have pursued higher education and am currently working towards a Google certification in UX Design to enhance my knowledge and expertise in user experience. My commitment to continuous learning and growth reflects my dedication to delivering exceptional results in my field.
With my natural aptitude for creativity and a keen eye for detail, I aspire to one day become a Creative Director, leading a team of talented experts to create innovative and impactful designs. I have successfully applied my skills and creativity in multiple industries, including multi-family real estate and corporate banking, adapting my artistic vision to suit the unique needs and goals of each client.
I thrive on collaboration and cherish the opportunity to work with like-minded professionals. My ability to function seamlessly within a team environment, as well as work independently, allows me to bring forth the best results for any project. I embrace challenges and enjoy the process of brainstorming ideas, problem-solving, and executing them with precision and flair.
I often enjoy drawing inspiration from San Antonio’s rich history and vibrant culture. I am passionate about helping local businesses and entrepreneurs realize their full potential by leveraging the power of branding and marketing. My commitment to producing engaging content and my enthusiasm for my craft make me an ideal partner for any creative endeavor.
