In my own words
— GarrettI am an innovative, results-driven multidisciplinary designer with extensive experience in industrial design, brand strategy, and product development.
My expertise spans graphic design, digital illustration, UI/UX design, CAD modeling, and creative direction, allowing me to craft engaging, user-focused products across industries. With a strong ability to lead cross-functional teams, I specialize in developing compelling brand identities and executing strategic product planning to elevate user engagement and market presence.<br><br>Creativity has been central to my life from an early age. Inspired by fine artists in my immediate family, I was formally trained in foundational art and design disciplines through structured youth programs and a focused arts curriculum. By seventeen, I had secured my first professional design role—launching a hands-on, experience-driven career rooted in visual storytelling, technical fluency, and strategic design thinking.<br><br>Rather than pursue a traditional academic path, I advanced through apprenticeships with respected studios in Miami, FL. These early roles exposed me to a wide range of design applications—interiors, furniture, fabrication, and environmental branding—while sparking a lasting fascination with how technology was transforming the creative process. That focus has remained constant as I’ve grown fluency in tools like Adobe Creative Suite, Autodesk Fusion 360, V-Ray, UI/UX platforms, and web-based frameworks.<br><br>While my portfolio emphasizes outdoor and consumer products, I’ve also developed brand identities for real estate and lifestyle clients, contributed to architectural installations in both commercial and residential spaces, and designed retail point-of-purchase displays. This breadth has shaped my ability to design cohesively across physical and digital environments, always with an eye on brand integrity, usability, and visual impact.<br><br>In addition to my creative and technical experience, I bring strong project management capabilities. I’ve led initiatives from early concept through execution—managing cross-functional teams, defining timelines, allocating resources, and driving efficient workflows through tools like Asana, Microsoft Project, and Smartsheet. I thrive in collaborative environments where strategy and design are aligned from the outset.<br><br>What sets me apart is the ability to move fluidly between ideation and execution—offering creative leadership, strategic insight, and hands-on expertise. I’d welcome the opportunity to bring that versatility and energy to your team.
