👋🏼 I’m Dev, a Dallas-based creative web designer. My love for creative design is influenced by the music in my life.
In 2021, I quit my career in Audio-Video installation and enrolled in SMU Code Bootcamp for a web-dev certificate. It was time to jump into full time design. Since that time, I have worked on various projects from non-profit to mental health SaaS with a few in between; highlighting interest and gained experience using color theory, prototyping, ui/ux structuring with both headless and front-end CMS.

This is where it all began. It's 2004, MySpace is booming and Tom is our first friend.
With a bootleg copy of ["shmadobe"] I began making show flyers and posters for artists and venues. Most designs were crap, but it spurred an interest of creating really cool pieces for friends. Starting in 2020, I decided to take a shot at making designs more than just a hobby.
I haven't looked back since.

Everything I learn as a designer and as a recording artist is cross-functional.
Music is my lifeblood and source of my identity. I've been an active musician in the Texas scene for over 20 years and it's the source of my inspiration as a designer, continually teaching fundamental project management skills. If you're interested, spend time listening to a couple of tracks I'm most proud of below.
