Born with a

passion to create

I’m Jarold Guzmán—a Marine-turned-designer who’s just as comfortable sketching a logo on napkins as I am building a 100-slide deck for a boardroom.

For me, design isn’t just making things look good—it’s storytelling, strategy, and execution rolled into one. Over the years I’ve illustrated hundreds of MAD LIBS® drawings, led digital campaigns at NMSDC, built high-pressure presentations for Morgan Stanley execs, and delivered brand identities that stick.

I thrive in the in-between spaces: the overlap of branding and motion, of corporate and playful, of concept and production. One day I’m editing video, the next I’m coding a site, the next I’m knee-deep in typography tweaks—always pushing until the work feels inevitable.

My toolkit: Branding, illustration, video, UX/UI, presentations, murals, animation, and everything Adobe. I work in English and Spanish, on Mac or PC, across print and digital.

What clients really get: Reliability (thanks to my Marine roots), clarity (I cut complexity into sharp visuals), and energy (I bring humor, imagination, and discipline to every project).

At the end of the day, I design like I live: bold, resourceful, and built for impact.
