Hot Hot Heat — July 13th, 2005
My ongoing series where I design concert posters from shows that I have attended and talk about memorable moments. A design exercise where I get to experiment with no pressure or constraints.
I’m not a big fan of current MTV. I’ll show my age, but I long for the days where it was mostly music videos and music-related content. I was fortunate to see MTV’s beginnings in the early ’80s as a young kid, watching from my uncle’s room in Puerto Rico whenever my sister and I would visit. During this time, though, if I remember correctly, this was in…
Non Phixion — Aug. 9th, 2005
My ongoing series where I design concert posters from shows that I have attended and talk about memorable moments. A design exercise where I get to experiment with no pressure or constraints.
On this particular show, Non Phixion was not the headlining act, Hieroglyphics was the headliner, but Non Phixion had such a great show, I decided to make them the main act in my poster design.

My ongoing series where I design concert posters from shows that I have attended and talk about memorable moments. A design exercise where I get to experiment with no pressure or constraints.
RJD2 is a DJ that connected with me right away. Once I heard the album Deadringer, I was an instant fan. His musical arrangements have many layers and texture to them, things I have noticed in myself that catches my interest. His sound has changed throughout the years, and it’s been cool to see how far he has evolved since the first album. I’ve joked with friends that…
Writings about my past and how it contributes to my UX profession and my creative process
For the first post in this series, I figured I would talk about a significant part of my childhood that shaped a lot of who I am today, being a Military Brat. For those that don’t know what that is, a Military Brat is a child of a serving or retired veteran. In my case, I’m an Army Brat. My father served in the Army for many years, and with that, we lived in many different places. For most of my childhood, we lived in areas for no more than four years. After the four years, we would pack up…
