TECHDESIGNO - Key Persons

At Techdesigno, Ive been learning how to write effective blog posts, learn more about different digital marketing techniques and putting them to practice, logo making, how to utilize adobe tools, managing subscribers for websites, building websites, using Wordpress, SEO (search engine optimization), and how to interact with clients.
I'm someone who enjoys new opportunities and the ability to learn and do something that may not be my expertise. I believe that it is important to be well rounded and not be closed off to work or life experiences that can make you grow as a valuable worker or person. I completed the Google Fundamentals of Marketing and WordPress Essential Training courses. These days, I am particularity interested in Social Media and how it can be one of your biggest assets in expanding your business and reaching one's targeted audience. I enjoy researching and learning more about emerging technologies and topics to get a better understanding of the new digital era.

My name is Andrew Arce. I'm the Senior Web Designer & Graphic Designer here at Techdesigno. I attended & graduated from Bloomfield College with a Bachelors Degree of Arts before I began my journey here as a Graphic Designer. I am also presently attending Essex County College to continue learning new techniques in the Digital Art World. My interest in Art & Design dates way back to when I was a kid in elementary school. I always loved to draw. Because of this, I eventually went to Arts High School with a Major in the Fine Arts. This would soon lead me to a great interest in Digital Art. I learned the bulk of my digital design skills in Bloomfield College & Essex County College. Even after graduating, I still feel like there's so much to learn. I am constantly learning new ways to evolve my design & technological skills every day here at Techdesigno. Whether it's Website Design, Graphic Design, or Social Media Marketing, you can count on me to help your business deliver a professional & cohesive online presence.
My name is Andrew Shum and I'm currently a student at Essex County College majoring in New Media Technology. I intern at Techdesigno working on Graphic Design and animation.
Growing up, I have always had an interest in art. Though I was not the best amongst my fellow peers, I've always held a fair amount of pride in what work I made/did. Most of my art work throughout school mostly consisted of pencil/painting works. It was only after graduating high school did I discover graphic design, mostly after seeing what works people have made online. I find that graphic design allows me to work and be more accurate in a way that a writing tool doesn't; but I also find I like to create more on paper and then edit it digitally. Generally speaking, I work mostly with Adobe applications, such as Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Edge Animate, and lately, After Effects.
My goals are to improve my graphic designing skills as well as my animation ability. I'd like to create something and see it have an actual purpose rather than the fan works I usually make and just watch them pile up in the hard drive. Ultimately, I'd like to end up animating for a show or video game. I look forward to working at Techhdesigno and learning how to make good quality work. I feel I learn something new every day and for me, that's a lot right there.

It was in high school that I focused mainly on dancing, and after high school that I decided to pursue art again.

Hello, my name is Ralph DePiro and I am Photographer and Graphic/Web Designer at Techdesigno.
Techdesigno is a place where I can be myself and incorporate the things that I love to do, Photography and Design. I've attended and graduated from Essex County College and earned an Associate in Applied Science Degree in New Media Technology. My primary focus of this major is Graphic and Web Design.
The skills behind being a designer are only half of what I do; the majority of it is coming up with new and interesting concepts and applying them to not just my work, but also every day life. Most importantly, I'm always looking for creative ways to do things. What really inspired me to become a Graphic/Web Designer was when I really started to notice the work that was done to posters, logos, websites and other graphical inspiration. I said "I wish I could make something like that."
After purchasing my first iPhone back in high school, photography started to become a hobby of mine. It wasn't until I purchased my first DSLR that I became more intrigued and creative. It was then that I began putting my knowledge and creativity to the test. I enjoy all aspects of photography but really have a passion for sports; I'm sort of a big sports guy.
