Welcome to Medrano Design, my name is Dairoll Medrano. I hope you enjoy viewing my portfolio and Art. 

 

Let me tell you a bit about myself for starters. Besides being an accomplished graphic Designer, Photographer and illustrator, I have a passion for the arts and a good understanding of what it takes to be a successful artist. I approach all my creative work positively and I am very goal oriented.

 

My educational background includes an Associates of Applied Arts and Science Communication Design from St. Clair County Community College, a Bachelors of Fine Art Illustration from the Cleveland Institute of Art and I am obtaining my Masters of Fine Art Media Design from Full Sail University.

 

I have a diverse portfolio that covers a wide range of work in digital imaging, branding, corporate identity, photography and illustration just to name a few. I am a creative person who is skilled in multiple disciplines such as print design, graphic design, brand design, and multi media design, incorporated with photography and illustration.

 

My work experience includes being a digital arts instructor, and I believe that research is just as important as technique. I am a self starter with with a passion for the arts and the creative process.

 

In addition I have a strong understanding of marketing, advertising and communications and the productive use of social media. I believe that my perseverance, ability to treat challenges as learning experiences and demonstrated leadership and social skills are my greatest assets.
