Howdy! 🤠

Coming from a background in brand development and creative strategy, I have married my education with my experiences in the field of design + marketing since 2013.

Whether the mission is to complete a brochure layout for a client or design a Facebook Ads campaign, I am the junction that meets the creative mind with a strategic focus.

I double-majored in Graphic Design and Marketing at California State University San Bernardino. After interning for the County of San Bernardino while running my own design business, I went on to lead the design team at a local graphics shop that launched my creative spark for the world of branding + print.

After my stint at the graphics shop, I was adopted into the marketing wing at sales training company Dialexis, where I worked for over one year.

However, because of trusted connections and referrals, I decided to open up my own bespoke marketing agency that specializes in brand development, social media marketing, business design, and local business growth.

I currently operate a full-time position at a marketing agency in Anaheim, BeCreative360, while running my own business, Cedeno Visuals.

I balanced my day job with personal creative work, such as logo design and content creation, which garnered attention from local business owners. Eventually, I got offers from more established companies, so I decided to accept a pro-bono design consultancy for Stand Up for the Cure on a freelance basis. This opportunity has allowed me to work with breast cancer survivors who spread awareness and advocacy.

My creative approach — no matter the medium — is to strategically find points of pain within a business or behind an idea I’m interested in. I do several iterations on each point and usually end up refining the one I find most successful.

As a native to creative strategy and a 1st-generation business owner, my objectives are to understand the “why” behind your brand, identify potential opportunities for your business, provide creative consultation support, and design marketing strategies around you that aims to generate more revenue & more customers for you.

On my free time, I enjoy spending time with my newlywed wife, building new creative projects for my own personal growth, providing pro-bono support to deserving non-profits, and watching Marvel films with my family.
