About
Who am I as a creative?
I am a University of the Arts BFA Graphic Design program 2022 graduate, Senior Citation Award of Excellence winner, and multifaceted artist. Also, I really really LOVE Chicken.
Unique and varied projects excite me, even if they keep me up at night. I am known to be a bit of a perfectionist, but I have learned that mistakes are learning opportunities to gain valuable experience, and sometimes they can lead to my best work.
You can not know success if you have never known failure.
Professionally I have been the only designer in the room defending my design choices. I am now looking to work on varied projects in a studio environment because I want to work with fellow creatives.

The Senior Citation Award of Excellence is Awarded to Brandon Rodriguez
After a year of dedicated work, I completed my senior thesis project, Mitos Encantada (Enchanted Myths), an online encyclopediac experience website with three Puerto Rican Taino myths, written, translated, illustrated, designed, and built by me. The site also contained a dedicated 7,000+ word dictionary also written by me, including a bibliography. The best part is that this site is live, and an ongoing passion project of mine.
After all of my efforts, I was awarded the Senior Citation Award of Excellence by the University of the Arts graphic design department as a result of garnering enough points before a panel of 10+ judges before my peers.

The Artists Upstairs Camden Fireworks Annual Group Art Exhibition 2019
Back in 2018, through a connection with my friend and mentor Marcy Morris, I discovered Camden Fireworks. Fireworks is an art gallery on South Broadway carved out of an old firehouse. The building was repurposed into an apartment and then to provide studio spaces for artists, while hosting exhibitions for both Camden City and visiting artists alike.
It was here that I became acquainted with Cassie, the poet who ran the space and welcomed me into my very first studio. It was also here, that I shared my very first exhibition with my fellow artists from the studio spaces upstairs in November 2019.
