Hola! I'm Gabriel.
I'm a Graphic Designer based in South Florida.
As a graphic designer, my expertise lies in the realm of digital design, print production, and publishing. I perceive graphic design as an art form that aims to evoke emotions and convey messages to a target audience effectively. My creative endeavors revolve around crafting visually captivating content, with the overarching objective of influencing and engaging consumers while establishing a brand's presence and identity.
Beyond my design pursuits, I hold a leadership role at Starbucks Coffee Company, overseeing a team of 30 partners. With over 16 years of experience in retail leadership and customer service, I have honed my abilities to empathize with customers and anticipate their needs. This professional journey has primed me to pursue a career where I can leverage my knowledge and skills to provide exceptional customer experiences.
Through the Starbucks College Achievement Plan, I embarked on an enriching educational path, earning a degree in Graphic Information Technology from Arizona State University. This opportunity has opened doors I never envisioned, allowing me to dig into diverse projects. Most recently, I served as a freelance designer for the Starbucks Indigenous Partner Network National Chapter, contributing to their creative endeavors. Additionally, I hold the role of Newsletter and Social Media Lead for the Hora del Cafe Partner Network Southeast Chapter, further showcasing my commitment to driving impactful engagement and communication efforts.
Through this multifaceted journey, I continue to harness my talents and passion to create meaningful designs, foster brand connections, and contribute to the success of organizations and initiatives I am involved with.
