About Me
As a native of Orange County, California, I originate from Costa Mesa, where my artistic journey commenced. Driven by a profound passion for the art world, I initiated my creative exploration through art classes at Newport Harbor High School, honing my skills in drawing and painting.
After achieving three years of academic excellence at Orange Coast College, I strategically redirected my aspirations toward the field of Graphic Design. This significant decision led me to the University of Arizona, where I dedicated myself to pursuing a degree in Studio Art, complemented by a minor in Business Administration.
My academic pursuits were augmented by two years of immersive, compensated internships, providing me with valuable practical experience that strengthened my comprehension of Graphic Design. My ultimate ambition is to produce impactful work that resonates with others, mirroring the profound influence that designers and artists had on me throughout my artistic journey.
Who is Tyler?
“Tyler worked under my supervision as a graphic design intern at The University of Arizona Campus Health Service from Fall 2022 through Fall 2023. During this time, he designed various internal and external media for Campus Health, including posters, brochures, ads, and fliers for a number of different topics and events at the UA, and contributed to a
variety of other projects. Since Tyler began his internship, I saw his design and technical skills and attention to detail improve. He followed direction well, took initiative, and was always ready to work. He was great to have as an intern and was a valuable asset to the Campus Health design department. I highly recommend Tyler to any organization looking
for a hard-working and creative individual”.
- Andrew Maghielse (Campus Health Department Senior Designer)
“It was a pleasure having Tyler on my marketing team. He is eager, professional and most of all a team player. I admired his drive and willingness to take on any challenge.
If you are looking for someone who is driven, goal oriented and willing to get the job done, then I recommend Tyler as the ideal addition to any creative team”.
- Gary Bell (Head of Arizona Public Media’s Marketing Department)
“A very professional graphic designer who not only delivered on time, but did not stop working till he was sure I was completely satisfied.
His product went well beyond my expectations and I would 100% work with him again”.
