Hi, my name is R. Ray and I studied multimedia and studio art at Mira Costa College in San Diego, California and IÕm currently finishing my B.A. degree in Graphic Design at San Diego State University.

My work is best described as a reflection of the surrounding environment and social progress of the Southern California culture. IÕm influence by the Mexican/ American, surfer, So. Cal culture surrounding San Diego. Yet, I take inspiration from great turn of the century designers like Paul Rand, Milton Glaser, Paula Scher, Doyald Young, and Herb Lubalin among others. With great knowledge and love for classic and modern design, my designs styles range from traditional to innovative and all in between.

My design skills focus on advertising, branding, and typography, with great knowledge and skills in photography, illustration, lettering, and web design. My work is available all over the nation. My logos can be seen in companies like These Guys Apps, and marketing material for companie like SIATech, Inc., Siguele Nightlife, Inc., and Musik Junkies, Inc.
