HELLO! I'm Joel.

I'm a visual and interactive designer with a passion for storytelling through design. My work spans UX/UI, illustration, branding, and motion graphics, blending creativity with strategy to craft designs that are as engaging as they are functional. Currently, I’m pursuing a Master of Science in Information Systems at the University of Colorado Denver, where I’m exploring how design intersects with technology and data. My approach to design is rooted in a love for solving problems and creating visually stunning, user-centric solutions. 

My key skills include:
- Illustration  
- Graphic Design  
- Branding  
- UX/UI Design  
- Logo Design  
- Design Systems 
- Interactive Prototyping  
- Data Analysis
- Cybersecurity
- User Research  
- Crafting and Editing User Flows  
- Competitive Analysis  
- Usability Data Analysis  
- User Interviews/Surveys  
- Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, HTML, CSS  
- Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, AfterEffects, Premiere Pro)

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me in my wood shop crafting furniture or playing music; jazz trombone, piano and guitar and performing with Paa Kow’s Afro Fusion Orchestra.These creative outlets fuel my perspective and keep me inspired. Let’s connect and create something meaningful together!
