August Ayala Jr.

I am a Creative multimedia specialist. I work with Adobe products on both Mac and PC platforms. I studied at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh but found a wealth of knowledge and information about design and creativity through the school of life.

I've shot, edited, and produced video shorts. I've written, arranged, and composed audio tracks. I've designed, branded and prepped for print; CD inserts, magazine ads, flyers, mailers, banners, auto magnets, bar food & drink menus and graduation invitations. I've designed, created, and published websites, some with responsive themes and others with interactive 2D animation. I've created social media campaigns using Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Instagram.

My passion is logo design and corporate branding. My hobbies include playing guitar going to see live band performances (of any genre) and anything that allows me to express creativity, whether be it through cooking, writing, sketching or designing compositions on my computer. My latest hobby is Pyrography (wood burning).

I would never suggest or presume to know what the market wants because that kind of insight could only come from your current customer. I've had over 17 years of customer support and interaction experience through a successful career in Information Technology. As such, I've learned to listen before responding to the customer in an effort to better understand their needs and desires.

I will continue to pursue creative excellence everyday until my last because it is not just something that I do - it's who I am.
