Gabriel has over 18 years of design and leadership experience. Previously he has worked with companies like Tesla, Seagate, Spotify, Levis, Volcom, Disney and Del Monte Foods.

He was born and raised in Southern California, where his interest in art and design took shape at a young age while creating comics with his cousins. Gabriel continued to pursue and refine his skills, graduating with a BFA in Graphic Design from the University of San Francisco and California College of the Arts joint degree program.

He is a graduate of the Yale School of Management, Business Perspective for Creative Leaders certification program. The program gives designers a strategic understanding of business strategy, operations, financial accounting, leadership, negotiation, law and corporate management.

Gabriel has collaborated in a number of settings: from large corporations to small Silicon Valley start-ups. His design chops cover photography, print, animation, web and app design.

In his spare time Gabriel stays active in the design community by participating with the local AIGA, iXDA, and mentoring students.
