Designed an 18th birthday party invitation, which is a debutante ball to be held in New York. I’ve used Cards & Pockets for their printing services before for a wedding invitation that I designed and I can’t say enough positive accolades for this company.

yveniaWeb Solutions – A Web Design and Online Marketing Partnership
Websites are designed by yveniaWeb’s design team.
As a graphic designer, I usually work independently and efficiently in designing pieces that can help market and promote your business, organization or event. My portfolio mostly consists of print marketing collateral, web assets (web banners and other graphics) and other custom design pieces.
In terms of web design, I can build and design web pages using a content management system, such as Dreamweaver, WordPress, Vignette and SharePoint. However, I am still learning and understanding the web programming aspect in building a website from scratch, such as JavaScript. With a full-time job, building a business on the side, being a co-president of a professional organization, as well as finding room for some social time, even graphic designers need some help.
This is why I have partnered with maWebCenters®, an innovative Internet marketing company specializing in business website design, eCommerce and hosting services. yveniaWeb Solutions offers an online marketing strategy, as well as web design services, for small businesses, start-ups and other organizations who want to build their web presence. Our business also includes an award-winning Customer Service team and a group of talented web designers who can help your business with unlimited support for your website and other questions you may have.

One of my annual professional goals is to keep up to date with the latest graphic design trends and tips to build my freelancing design business. I always do my research from anywhere — the Internet, magazines, books, even while doing errands. Even though most of my research is on the Web, I decided to go to my local library and picked these up (Never underestimate the power of the library!). Yes, it’s been awhile since I held an actual book!
The books I picked up:
The Designer’s Guide to Marketing and Pricing, Ilise Benun and Peleg Top
Creating Your Digital Portfolio by Ian Clazie

In Support of the Philippines
Posted on November 19, 2013 Leave a Comment
Instead of my usual posts on graphic design and portfolio updates, I wanted to post this for some time. As a concerned citizen, as well as a proud Filipino, I am saddened by the devastation Typhoon Haiyan has affected the Philippines. Thankfully my relatives who still live in the country are fine and were not affected by the typhoon. As much as I am relieved that my relatives are safe, the people who were affected by the typhoon are not as lucky and the Philippines is still going through recovery efforts. Instead of just contributing money to organizations, I wanted to do something a lot more that I hope can make a difference.

Outside of my design and communications career, I’m also a runner who ran various races, including my first marathon that I completed last month. Most of the races I have competed are for personal accomplishments, but this time it’s different. This upcoming race is very special because I’ll be running for the Philippines. I just signed up for the 5 Mile Turkey Trot on Saturday, November 30 in Westfield, NJ. My goal is to raise a minimum of $300, which the proceeds will support UNICEF for the New York Road Runners (NYRR). This minimum amount would cover at least a school-in-a-box kit and fleece blankets for children. It’s much appreciated if you can help me raise funds for this charity by clicking the DONATE button or you can create your own fundraiser through Crowdrise. Any amount you donate will help provide relief and recovery to the Philippines.

Lastly, since this is a graphic design blog, I found a couple of design-related sites that presented inspirational work from artists who volunteered their time in assisting relief efforts. These designs can also help raise money in support of the Philippines.
