What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can lead creative projects and mentor junior designers.

I'm David F. Sánchez Padilla, a dedicated graphic designer with a college degree in Graphic Arts from UNICIT, where I graduated cum laude. Over the past decade, I have honed my skills in various roles, including Senior Graphic Designer and Art Director, working with prestigious organizations such as the Vice Presidency of the Republic of Nicaragua and TBWA Nicaragua. My experience encompasses leading design teams, creating impactful branding campaigns, and developing engaging digital content.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed projects that require a keen eye for detail and a strong understanding of visual communication. I have been instrumental in creating corporate images, social media content, and promotional materials that resonate with audiences. My role as a teacher at the School of Design allowed me to share my knowledge and passion for graphic design with aspiring designers, further solidifying my commitment to the field.
