Specialist & Consultant

Website: www.rioscreates.com I’m a multidisciplinary designer and marketing professional with a passion for creating visuals that connect, inspire, and drive engagement. With over eight years of experience in the entertainment, hospitality, and agency worlds, I’ve developed campaigns that blend creativity with strategy — from large-scale LED billboards and print promotions to digital content for national brands and professional sports partners. An Adobe Creative Suite expert, I specialize in branding, digital design, typography, motion, and storytelling across both print and digital media. I thrive in fast-paced environments where ideas move quickly and collaboration is key — transforming concepts into compelling, on-brand creative that resonates with audiences. A proud San Diego native now based in Washington, I bring West Coast energy and creative perspective to everything I do. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me skateboarding, playing guitar, diving into a good book, or rooting for the Padres over a craft beer.

As the Digital Media Designer for the Pacific Northwest’s largest casino, I create dynamic visual content across both print and digital platforms. My work includes developing promotional materials for property-wide campaigns, BETMGM Sportsbook marketing, and national entertainment acts. I also collaborate with professional sports partners—including the Seattle Seahawks, Mariners, and Sounders—to produce cohesive, high-impact creative that strengthens brand presence and guest engagement.

Partnered with the Marketing Manager to concept, plan, and execute event campaigns that strengthened guest engagement and participation. Oversaw each project from concept to final production, coordinating with vendors and departments to ensure every deliverable met the highest visual and quality standards.
