My Story.

My name is Alvin Domingo and I am a designer, illustrator, calligrapher, photographer and art director. I attended the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, CA and studied graphic design. After graduating in 2012, I joined Liquid Agency in San Jose and worked primarily on brand identity. Two years later, Liquid Agency opened a studio in San Francisco. There I became one of the lead designers working on Motorola and assisted in other brands such as Ernest Packaging, PayPal, Skype and Sony. Here I focused on concept, art direction, strategy, execution and assisting the creative director with pitch decks.

 

In 2015, I joined COG1 as an associate art director focusing on digital work for Funding Circle, Hack Reactor and Digital Realty. We also worked on a lot of RFP’s and pitch decks which required a lot comp designing.

 

After COG1 I joined my former creative director and started and in-house agency for Mayvenn. We took all of our agency knowledge such as process and organization and incorporated it in the companies daily usage to help build a more productive team.

 

While working at Mayvenn I continued working on freelance work under Alvin Domingo Design and also started a design collective with colleague and friend Tyler Yin named DominYin. In addition to freelance work I also am named Head of Design for a start-up company named SaveNaturally.
