About me
Diego Britos
Senior Graphic & Web Designer based in the San Francisco Bay Area
Graphic and Web designer with 20+ years of experience designing and developing user-centered digital/print marketing material.
Strong background in layout, color theory, typography, and aesthetic concept. Extensive experience in all the stages of the creative cycle to take a project from the concept to completion.
Creativity is a fundamental aspect of our lives.
In my opinion, we use the creative process in every situation of our lives.
It is used to create and invent new things, to improve the quality of life, and to solve problems. Also, to discover and express what is deep inside us.
Our creations entertain, delight, and allow us to enjoy our lives.
An idea can pop out from nowhere. It's extremely rewarding how throughout the creative process it is transformed and improved until it achieves the objective. When starting from scratch, sometimes there is a feeling that ideas will not emerge. To find inspiration, I like to go for a walk, ride my bike and let my mind be free.
I believe it is always important to make time for yourself to do other activities and to keep a healthy lifestyle. Throughout all my experience I learned how to immerse myself in the creative process, let the ideas flow, how to shape and improve them.
I never feel that my work is monotonous, everything is constantly evolving, and new trends and tools come out frequently.
Learning new skills and being updated is exciting and crucial for expanding my abilities.
