Analytical, logical, systematical. Raul has the ability to use these talents to achieve any technical goal he sets. His perceptive from life experiences and travels allows him to be a open-ended, imaginative designer. The ability to walk both technical and creative lines is a one Raul excels with ease.

raul has been my friend for many many years. somewhere in there, he managed to sneak off and become a top notch designer and developer!

the professional design work that Raul has done for me include business cards, a website, and printed instructional signage. in each case, he exceeded my expectations by taking my simplistic input and creating really bold, dynamic visuals. as a project manager, i have overseen dozens of website design projects with lots of designers. raul's work is top notch "bang for the buck" !
