Jaime A.

I’m a passionate creator that focuses on creative design within photography, sciences and art and who’s striving to bring the Creative Design process to scientific research, outreach and as form of art in general. I’m also a photographer with a passion for artistic compositions with strong evocative themes. I enjoy plenty of hours working on a combination of Photoshop, Illustrator and Affinity for my photo designs, as well as extended use of Pages and Keynote for document and presentation design; I’m also extremely proficient in coding, mainly MATLAB. All of my creative projects, from coding in Matlab to the more challenging Photoshop compositions, always start with the need to fulfill a creative desire and idea. I believe that the success of achieving this original idea is heavily dependent on both the artistic sensibility and the tool proficiency. This is why I like to keep my self busy with self-given projects in my downtime. I believe I have the knowledge, sensibility and talent to capture and idea and make it into a design project. This is why I have decided to freelance. I have many years of experience with creative design, mainly focused on photography and photo shoots as my main passion and creative drive but also including music composition, logo, poster, cards and flyer design and of course, visualization of scientific data, design of scientific posters and presentations. I really appreciate communication as a skill and way of life so for me it really is important to perfectly establish ideas, desires and goals with a client throughout the entire creative process. My prime objective is to be in complete understanding with the client, sometimes this understanding is implicit but other times it requires extra communication. I do like technicalities and precise and detailed work, so I’m willing to pursue perfection if I believe it is valuable, achievable and within the client’s interest. I’m not comfortable charging as much as the usual freelance designer because I don’t do this professionally and my freelancing helps support my studies. I do love freelancing as a passion and I would do it for free if such was life! I do understand, however, that I might be underrating my skills and I do not mean to ‘cheapen’ the work of designers but at the same time I do want to be accesible and transparent about my work and motives hoping to bring better appreciation to what a well-thought and even artistic design can do. The artistic pursuit for me is very much about the outcome and also about how well it can engage the consumer afterwards.
