About Me
Who am I?
As a designer with eight years of experience and counting, I am passionate about creativity and the ability to pull inspiration from everything around me to create unique work. With extensive experience in Marketing/Branding, Graphic Design, UI Design, and Photography, I am versatile and disciplined in not only what I desire to learn but, also how I approach mastering each skill to push my understandings of them to grow and improve. Since I was young I've had a mind that craves expression through visual storytelling and over time I transferred that energy and passion into all of the work that I do no matter the project size.
With a diverse range of experience I can adapt and thrive within creative teams and as an individual contributor that works to meet deadlines!
Brands I’ve worked with
I have been fortunate enough to study Art & Design in 2 countries, work in UI Design as part of an amazing team at Royal Caribbean Ltd., intern with the Walt Disney Company and work on design at both the in-house and agency levels. In my professional career I’ve spearheaded Design/Branding initiatives solo and within many unique and creative teams of people for multiple brands across various notable companies and organizations.

Testimonials
From great people i’ve worked with
“Larry is one of the most hard-working people I know, responsible, always curious and just a pleasure to work with. He came to Royal Caribbean and single handedly manage a large work load, improved processes and communication among stakeholders and always finished every deliverable ahead of schedule. He handles himself with a lot of professionalism and has a “let’s get things done” attitude no matter what. I highly recommend Larry.”
“Larry is a very creative and goal oriented person! I first met Larry in my Spanish classroom in 2013, but he has been being in touch with ever since, asking details to improve his language abilities until the present. Because he is an open-minded person, in our classes he was always helping to create a better environment for team activities; in addition, he was very positive about learning from his classmates cultural backgrounds and the Costa Rican culture. For this, I think he can adapt easily to any new environment and situation!”
