Meet the Business Owner: Gerardo A.
With an educational background in graphic design and photography, I began my studies at Cerritos College, focusing on graphic design. I then expanded my skills at Rio Hondo College, where I studied both graphic design and photography, earning an A.S. in Commercial Art. My journey continued at California State University, Long Beach, where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Studio Arts with a concentration in graphic design and photography.
I work closely with each client to exceed expectations and bring their vision to life. Whether capturing a delicious dish or a professional portrait, my commitment to excellence ensures the highest quality results.
Outside of my professional work, I continue to create images, often inspired by my hiking, running, and travel adventures. I have a particular passion for landscape photography, especially in black and white.
