about me

Hi, I'm Javier Gutierrez and I do design.

It may sound like a vague oversimplification but Merriam-Webster defines design as a transitive verb meaning to create, fashion, execute, or construct according to plan - so in one way or another design bleeds into everything and every day life.

Although I started with graphic design at age 12, the underlying principles and problem-solving approach have translated well into illustration, animation, web design/development, photography, SQL, etc. and even other seemingly not relatable things (like car maintenance, home improvement, cooking, or music theory). Who knows, maybe one day I'll find myself doing interior design, woodworking, or apparel. The sky is the limit when you enjoy learning.

When I'm not basking in the blue light emitting from a computer screen you can find me at the gym, watching films to log on Letterboxd, keeping up with fashion, or listening to Deftone's White Pony for the millionth time.

P.S. I made the site from scratch using GitHub Pages, Bootstrap, and a couple of jQuery libraries (AOS, Masonry, and imagesLoaded).
