Hello! Thank you for taking the time to visit my portfolio. My name is Demi (Cesar), and I have worked as a creative specialist and marketing strategist within the Medical Aesthetics & Technology industries since 2016, and have taken on roles at some great companies throughout my time—such as laser manufacturers Alma and Lutronic, and sports training and rehabilitation device manufacturer Performance Health Systems—as well as taken on some incredible freelance projects with major players like Analog Devices, Inc. and KeraFactor. I began my career in 2014 at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where I earned my Bachelor’s of Design in Graphic Design, and began working in the field as early as 2015, starting with my first design internship at Intrestco, LLC.

My design process is based on being detail-oriented, and focusing on the smaller aspects of what brings a design deliverable together to create a truly dynamic and eye-catching end result. I am also a true believer in the iterative process, and taking the time to analyze what we have done in the past and how we can improve upon it for the future. My main measurement for success is focused on Effectiveness vs Efficiency, and continuously working to optimize that balance in both my career and personal life.

I pride myself on being someone who comes to the table with solutions, not problems, and tackle projects head on with an open and creative mind. I don’t focus on what I can’t do, but instead see every hurdle as an opportunity to learn and grow my skillset even further, as we never truly stop learning. This mentality has given me the opportunity to work on a wide array of projects and campaigns—honing a wide range of design skills—with my personal design passions focus on digital media, motion graphics, event space activations, and brand identity—as I find that tends to be where I can expand my creativity and bring ideas to life in a tangible way.

In my personal time, I really enjoy traveling, reading, playing the ukulele, riding motorcycles, and playing video games on days when I feel like being a homebody. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out via my contact form, and I look forward to hearing from you!
