I’m Alberto a graphic artist and musician based in Southern California. I received a B.F.A. degree with emphasis in graphic design and illustration from Cal State University Long Beach. I have been lucky to work in a variety of diverse industries such as: food distribution, laboratory and science corporations, marketing and fashion. I’ve worked in art departments with teams of creatives and also as the sole graphic designer in charge of photography, logo creation, business cards, brochures, catalogues and flyers. I have been doing this for over 10 years since starting A-Squared as my freelance business. In my free time I play drums with an alternative rock band and have shared the stage with some legendary iconic New Wave groups. Art, Music and Family is what life is all about.
