CARLOS DURAN-PICHARDO

Hi! I am a designer with experience in identity, branding, advertisement, and motion design. I am currently exploring Junior/Entry level roles as an in house or agency designer.

I have four years of experience working as a freelance designer and a year of working as an agency designer.

My problem solving skills, attention to detail, and unique style of design has impacted the teams at Beats by Dre, Translation/United Masters, Instaboost Media, H.E.A.L., Books thru Bars, and the Millbrae Equity Plan Organization.

I'm constantly searching for growth and challenges, but even more eager to connect with you and share stories with each other.

04 MODEST MOUSE 

After spending some time listening to Modest Mouse, watching their music videos, and familiarizing myself with their abstracts thoughts and impactful stories, I became a bigger fan than I already was. So I decided to design merchandise that elevates their ideals all while looking fashionable.
