Calando S.

Modern Print Designer + Technical Illustrator

• Indesign expert • • Books • Magazines • Brochures • Catalogs • Reports • White papers • Newsletters • Digital illustrations • Two decades of making print graphics led me down paths of personal and professional growth I never dreamed of. As evidenced by my portfolio below, the diverse combination of skills I gained along the way was a competitive edge that my past clients, colleagues, and collaborators truly appreciated. I’ve worn many hats, have been both a one-man army and a Swiss Army knife for so many times that it refined my general design skills into specializations and multi-disciplinary positions I am truly proud of sharing to you. For a design creative though, I like sifting through data, technical manuscripts, and long blocks of copy. The tens of thousands of page layouts I designed somehow made me this particularly detailed but macro-oriented. Despite having traditional tastes in aesthetic approaches and standards, I always give wildcards and contrarian takes. A cherry on top. And people seem to love it. You might, too. Slide me a message and let’s talk. Let's make this fruitful.
