WHO’S BEHIND THAT CREATIVE MIND?

 

MIGUEL GUTIERREZ

GRAPHIC DESIGNER & ILLUSTRATOR

What’s up bro! Let me tell you about myself! I am a Graphic Designer (obviously haha). I started my design career a year and a half before college graduation, working on small gigs such as commissions and designs for the many organizations I was a part off. June of 2022 marks two years since that faithful feat and I couldn’t be more satisfied with what I have accomplished so far today ( 06/10/22 ). I am currently based in a small town in the south western tip of the state of New Mexico just outside of the Gila National Forest… Everyone please give it up for Silver City, NM. I was brought here thanks to all of my past experience and because Western New Mexico University was in need of a new addition to their team, that’s where my “first job outside of college” became a good story to tell.

Here at WNMU I work constantly to promote not only our brand but furthermore convince our viewer why they made the best choice regarding their education by coming to school here. One of my biggest projects and concerns since I joined the team last summer (2021) has been our 4k initiative, a project dating back prior to Covid-19 where the school had a common goal of three years to reach four thousand students (I can’t stress enough we are a really small campus). A summary of what I do on a normal day to day:

  • Branding Campaigns

  • WNMU Mustang Swag (gear)

  • Event logos

  • Social Media Assets

  • Printed work- Posters, Flyers, Business cards, etc…

  • And many more

Things I love:

Video Games (Fifa, Assassins Creed, Watch Dogs) | Tattoos | Travel | Side Hustle ( personal art) | Concerts (both live and on youtube) | My heritage | Working Out | Cajun Wings ( Wingstop please) | Coffee | Weekends | Aguas Frescas & Mexican Food

Awards cause hustle is well paid:

  • Silver addy x3 | Pacifico Beer rebrand, and El Tapatio restaurant Rebrand and Icons.
