Thanks for visiting!
My name is Rob and I’m a 27-year-old advertising and web design specialist based in Santa Barbara, California. I graduated from the University of Houston in May 2008 with a B.A. in Advertising and a minor in Studio Art (Graphic Communications), where I excelled as an award-winning designer at the university’s newspaper.
Since I was little I’ve had a knack for drawing, creating, and building practically anything, whether it be model cars, cartoons, Legos or random mix tapes. I made my first website when I was 12 and made a few others throughout high school, but I never seriously got into the web design field. In college I took a particular interest to advertising and print design, but after graduation I decided to go back to my roots and took a web design class at Lone Star College in Houston, TX. Two weeks after my final exam, I landed a job as a web designer at Gulf Media Solutions, an SEO/internet marketing company.
In my spare time I enjoy riding my bikes along the beach, traveling, and visiting downtown Santa Barbara. I'm a big fan of electronic music and will never turn down an invitation to go hiking, camping, rafting, water skiing, or to just hang out at the beach.
