What is CougarCS and what is my role?

CougarCs is the largest CS organization at the University of Houston, its goal is to create a connection with all the CS community at UH, through workshops, social events, and tutoring. I am member of the design chair, which means that I am in charge of promoting the organization and its upcoming events throught the creation of flyers and social media posts, along with any other required promotional material such as merchandise, promotional videos, logos, etc.

This is some of the work I have done for CougarCS so far, it mainly consists of flyers and social media posts, as well as assets for the other branches of the organization. All of them were created on Figma.

My freelance experience on Fiverr

Fiverr is a platform for freelancers, you may find any type of service on the site. I personally offered my services as a pitch deck designer, I designed and remade presentations, also it was a good practice for my UI/UX design since some clients asked me to create some menus or elements that required some knowledge about UI design.

Testimonials

Making logos for almost 10 years

When I turned 12 I decided to become a graphic designer, after years of practice I was able to have a good foundation that allowed me to commission an array of logo designs for businesses, schools, YouTube channels, etc.

Dulce Delicia

This logo was made for a local bakery in Cuitzeo, Mexico as part of a commission provided by a friend, it was fully made on Adobe Photoshop, every step of the process was reviewed by the client.

Personal Logo

This logo was made entirely on Figma, it is one of my most recent works, it was created as a branding project for my work, it is a star with the shape of an “A” and an arrow at the same time as a symbol of my ideology of never giving up.

Cute Frog Co.

This logo was made as branding material for my Etsy shop that started in January of 2023, it was made on Adobe Photoshop and it intends to transmit the escense of the brand with pastel colors and rounded shapes.

Cute Frog Co. on Etsy

As of January of 2023, my family was going through an economic crisis so I decided to open an Etsy shop to sell my art and that way I could earn some extra money. I designed stickers, T-shirts and merchandise in general on Photoshop, every week I would have something new in stock. The project didn’t go as planned and it was put on hold but I learned a lot from it.

These are all the designes I made for the Etsy shop, they are set to be simple but cute at the same time.
