About Me

// March 3rd, 2009 // Comments Off // About Me

You can call me Mel. I am an LA based graphic designer and photographer. I have a BFA in Graphic Design from Cal Polytechnic Pomona. My background includes commercial studio photography and have worked under renowned commercial photographer Ognan Borissov. I specialize mainly on product photography but occasionally shoot fashion and events. On the graphics side, my skill set ranges from producing EYE-POPPING admats to explosive motion graphics. I mainly use After Effects for compositing and animating and also do my own editing in Final Cut Pro. My eye for motion also carries over to my web designs so I develop sites mainly with Flash.
