With over 23 years of experience in graphic and brand design, I specialize in designing distinctive and impactful brand identities and graphic materials for small and medium-sized businesses around the world. My skills span Branding Identity, Logo Design, Graphic and Web Design.
For more than 17 years, I was the lead designer for the Digital Summit Series, the largest regional live event series for digital marketing professionals, which attracted over 30,000 attendees annually at its peak. My role involved developing the Digital Summit brand, designing hundreds of printed and digital materials, creating and maintaining websites, and leading the design team through every stage of multiple projects.
I offer a comprehensive range of graphic and web design services, along with strategic guidance to elevate your brand. If you’re interested in collaborating or learning more about how I can help enhance your brand, feel free to reach out.
What my peers are saying
Carlos epitomizes what it means to be a good teammate. I've hired hundreds of individuals and have never worked with anyone as loyal and team-oriented as Carlos.
Team success matters to Carlos in a way that is rare in today's business climate. Additional workload, late nights, project creep and limited internal resources were never an obstacle to getting the job done. Over 15 years, I didn't hear Carlos complain once despite his workload growing 10x.
I miss working with Carlos and would hire him in a second if given the opportunity.
Scott Hedrick, Co-Founder and Former Executive Director, Digital Summit
What a joy it was to work with Carlos for more than 6 years at Digital Summit. His creative vision and leadership he brought to the brand development and design across print and digital for the Digital Summit conference series was foundational for its growth into the largest Digital Marketing conference series in the U.S. While working with him, Carlos consistently delivered beautiful, innovative concepts and designs across platforms that captured the essence of the DS brand, clients, and partners.
Carlos has an innate ability to manage complex projects, from concept to execution, and unique talent for translating abstract ideas into engaging visuals across multiple media. He's the total package - from brand development to stunning graphic design to web development and martech excellence.
And he's just a good guy. A great leader of global talent and a great, generous collaborator. It was an awesome gift getting to work with Carlos, and I'd wholeheartedly recommend him to lead any creative team, across industries.
Jaimey Bear, Head of Events, Modev
I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Carlos for nearly a decade. During that time he has consistently proven himself to be an outstanding design team lead and a great graphic designer. He is a real expert and has a tremendous background in the field.
Beyond his technical skills, Carlos is an incredible person - empathetic, supportive, and always willing to go the extra mile for his team. I would put a big emphasise on his unwavering sense of responsibility. Carlos is the most dependable person I have ever had the privilege of working with. He approaches every task with diligence and a level of accuracy and accountability that sets the standard for everyone around him.
Any company would be fortunate to have Carlos as part of their team.

I had the pleasure of working with Carlos for over two years at Digital Summit. Not only is he a talented designer with vast experience in print, digital and branding, he is also a thoughtful and loyal teammate with an impressive dedication to his work.
Would love the opportunity to work with him again in the future.
Nikki Puckett Cuellar, Sr. Marketing Director, Digital Summit
I worked with Carlos for over three years at Digital Summit events. He's a talented graphic and web designer who produces high-quality work quickly and consistently delivers outstanding results in branding. Carlos not only excels at creating impactful brand identities but also led the design team with vision and expertise. He provides excellent customer service when working with clients and outside speakers, and he was extremely patient whenever we had a client who needed a lot of changes, always handling difficult situations with ease. Plus, he's a nice, fun person to work with. I highly recommend him!

I had the pleasure of working with Carlos when he was a designer at Digital Summit/Naylor and cannot recommend him enough! He is an extremely talented designer, both in terms of his creativity and his technical skills. His work is consistently high quality with a fast turnaround and great attention to detail. Carlos is also an incredibly kind and collaborative team member who was always willing to go the extra mile, teach others, and contribute positively to whatever project was thrown his way. He was a pleasure to work with in every aspect and any company would be lucky to have him on their design team.

I had the pleasure of working with Carlos at Digital Summit. He's a great collaborator, always open to feedback and eager to contribute to the team. His positive attitude and ability to meet deadlines and (more often than not) RUSH jobs, made him a valued team member and asset to the Events Team. Simply put, he was reliable and just all around great at this job.
Crystal Honoré, CMP, Senior Events Manager, NASSP
Carlos is an amazing graphic designer who did his behind-the-scene magic with a great team-focused attitude, timely, creative, and positive. He is extremely dependable in a team collaboration environment, and always handled multiple tasks with grace. It was awesome to work with Carlos for 7+ years and I hope we work together again in the future.
