LITTLEPARISSF.COM Created a site and redesigned a logo for a client looking to rebrand their restaurant after relocating. Provided assistance with copy creation and image manipulation and selection.
EASTBAYKOI.COM Redesigned the client’s online shop and created a brand that reflects the client’s vison of a clean look and easy to use interface. Used Shopify CMS to create a flexible and customizeable shop.
IGARLIKEIT.COM Created a site providing garlic recipes for a class project. Worked closely with design and content teams to translate mockups into a fully functioning site using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Logo by M. Picardo
INTERACTIVE RESUME Created an online resume designed to show my skills as a web developer and designer through an interactive interface. Using CSS3 transitions, I created a simple, yet dynamic site full of useful information for potential employers.
THELITTLEBRICKYARD.COM Created a site to provide information about Lego® Mindstorms® Robotics using a responsive layout. The site includes tutorials and part descriptions to help beginners with the basics of building with the Lego© NXT2.0.
BRANDING Created a brand for a fictituous retailer which focuses on selling baby furniture. Worked with a partner to design a logo, business card, letterhead and ad. I designed the logo and ad, while my partner designed the letterhead and business card.
AFTER EFFECTS Used stop motion photography, a Lego® set, and After Effects to create a motion graphics commercial for a proposed brick reseller. The website TheLittleBrickyard.com became a tutorials page, but the plan is to expand it to include used bricks.
FLASH / INTERFACE DESIGN Designed an interface for a retro space-shooter game using the characters from Space Invaders. Developed with ActionScript 3.0 and flash animations. The goal was to create a minimal, but stylized interface that would be easy to navigate.
FLASH / GAME DEVELOPMENT Developed a single player space shooter using ActionScript 3.0. The purpose was to create a game with multiple enemies that increase their speed and spawning rate as the player's score increases. Used Space Invader characters as sprites.
FLASH / ATARI BANNER AD Designed a retro style ad for the Atari 2600 gaming console. I used iconic board game logos and 8 bit-looking sprites to create a dynamic ad that promotes the “new” gaming system, while taking a "shot" at its competitors.
ILLUSTRATOR Composed a self-portrait with the letters of my name (including middle name) using Lucida Blackletter. The challenge was in using a single color and not morphing any of the letters. Value and texture were created with size and shape differences.
CARDBOARD Designed a two-sided, inverted colors mandala that incorporates personal elements. Half of the image was hand-drawn on white cardboard, cut out using a knife, and glued on opposite sides of a black cardboard, creating a mirror image with opposite colors.

I’m a graduate of The Art Institute of California – San Francisco with a Bachelor of
Science degree in Web Design & Interactive Media. I create clean and minimalist designs using
semantic and well-organized code. My eclectic background, which includes six years in the United
States navy as a nuclear reactor operator, allows me to bring a broad and open-minded approach
to my creations. Through my experience with freelance work, webmaster at the
Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts, and as the in-house designer at Opera Mediaworks, I have expanded my working knowledge of front-end development
as well as a variety of design styles. Strong in both design and development, my specialties are
typography, HTML5 and JavaScript.
